"We want to discover the secrets of human behavior. We search to uncover
people as they really are, not as we merely believe or hope they are. In
following sections we will expose some unprofitable thinking toward other
people.
Whenever you want wealthy discoveries about human nature - your own or
others - remember this wise observation:
'You may be always successful if you do but set out well, and let your
thoughts and practice proceed upon right method. Let not the genuine value
of anything escape you.' (Marcus Aurelius)"
