And "those people who think only of themselves," Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, longtime president of Columbia University, said, "are hopelessly uneducated. They are not educated," said Dr. Butler, "no matter how instructed they may be."<BR/><BR/>Hmm...I wasn't sure "How to Win Friends and Influence People" would offer anything good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
