Quote by John Wooden
Stubborness we deprecate,Firmness we condone,The former is our neighbors trait,The latter is our own.
Summary
This quote suggests that our perception of stubbornness versus firmness is often biased and influenced by our own standpoint. While we tend to criticize stubbornness when displayed by others, we are more accepting and understanding of firmness when we exhibit it ourselves. It implies that we tend to view the same behavior differently depending on whether it is displayed by others or by ourselves, exposing the double standards we often have in judging others' actions versus our own.
