Pity is often a reflection of our own evils in the ills of others. It is a delicate foresight of the troubles into which we may fall. We help others so that on like occasions we may be helped ourselves; and these services that we render are in reality benefits we confer on ourselves by anticipation. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld
