On knowing yourself

We cannot know ourselves other than through association with our neighbors--receiving from them reproaches and vexation as a cure for our spiritual wounds; while reproaching ourselves for impatience, but not them.  Instead, we must thank them; for, through them, we came to know--by God's providence--our spiritual infirmity.
