" Whom then to credit? Whom to treasure?
On whom alone can we depend?
Who is there who will truly measure his acts and words to suit our end?
Who'll sow no calumnies around us?
Whose fond attentions will astound us?
Who'll never fault our vices, or whom shall we never find a bore?
Don't let a ghost be your bear-leader. don't waste your efforts on the air.
Just let yourself be your whole care, your loved one, honourable reader!
Deserving object: there can be nothing more lovable than he. "

― Alexander Pushkin , Poemas
