    So I humbly propose
    that before trying to fix the world, one should try to fix himself.

That seems to propose that only someone who is perfect should try to
end the world's injustices.  Since no one is perfect, no one will do
so.  It sounds wise, but really it is just quietism.

The people I admire didn't follow that advice.
GNU exists because I didn't either.
