The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums.

G. K. Chesterton


Is Chesterton right? Is humility a prerequisit of sanity? What do you think?

R. D. Lange says that insanity is the cure for insanity - an escape from reality.

I would say that fits G. K. Chesterton's epigram. I'm not sure humilty has a part.

I'm not sure about sanity but i think the ability to have humility or to be humble are necessary to be a good person. Cause sometimes, hey your just wrong.
