Men soon the faults of others learn
A few their virtues, too, find out;
But is there one—I have a doubt— Who can his own defects discern?
Sanskrit Proverb
Make it thy business to know thyself,
which is the most difficult lesson in the world.
Miguel de Cervantes
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few;
and let those be well-tried before you give them your confidence.
George Washington

You too, grasshopper.
