“Because I observe that men who wish to become expert horsemen do not get the most docile horses but rather those that are high mettled, believing that if they can manage that kind they will easily manage any other. My course is similar. Mankind at large is what I wish to deal and associate with and so I have got her, well assured that if I can endure her I shall have no difficulty in my relations with the rest of humankind.” -Socrates
