Quote by G.K. Chesterton
“Quer saber onde ficam os homens que acreditam em si mesmos? Eu sei. Sei de homens que acreditam em si mesmos com uma confiança mais colossal do que a de Napoleão ou César. Sei onde arde a estrela fixa da certeza e do sucesso. Posso conduzi-lo aos tronos dos super-homens. Os homens que realmente acreditam em si mesmos estão todos em asilos de lunáticos”.”
― G.K. Chesterton ,
