One of the characteristics of great
men is humility.
The contrary fact is that little men
are noted for conceit.
The latě Bruče Bartoň pondering
this, long ago hit upon the explanation.
“God is just,” concluded Bartoň. “He
distributes talents with impartial hand
among the sons of men. To big men He
•gives the satisfaction of achievement;
but He penalizes them with hours of
depression, introspection and self-
douht.
“Little men would be discouraged if
they could see themselves in their true
light, so conceit was sent into the
world .. . . Goďs great gift to little
men.”
