يُتّهم الرجال بأنهم لا يعرفون ضعفهم، لكنّ قليلين، ربما، يعرفون قوّتهم. فهم كالتربة؛ ففيها أحيانًا عِرقٌ من ذهب لا يدري صاحبها بوجوده.

“Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.”Jonathan Swift — Delphi Complete Works of Jonathan Swift (Illustrated) (2013)
