Those who deserve respect seldom demand it;
Those who demand respect seldom deserve it.
Those who merit reward rarely expect it;
Those who seek reward rarely reject it.
Those who choose to preen and preach
Can frequently miss the chance to teach.
Better by far to debate and discuss -
And be of far more use to us!

First line says it all MCN.
A lesson in humility, MC.
