Men, said the Devil,
are good to their brothers:
they don’t want to mend
their own ways, but each others.

    I remember reading "Mankind" when I was younger. Honestly, it didn't really impress me that much. Just doing homework now.

      Just read this by Piet Hein. The part about "they don't want to mend their own ways, but each others" is so true! Shows we're quick to judge others but can't face our own flaws. Deep stuff!
