Quote by Jimmy Carter

Testing oneself is best when done alone.

Testing oneself is best when done alone.

Summary

This quote implies that the most effective way to gauge one's abilities and limits is through personal and private challenges. By testing oneself individually, free from external influences or distractions, one can focus solely on their own performance and growth. This allows for a more genuine evaluation of one's skills, strengths, and weaknesses without the influence of others. The solitude of self-testing also encourages self-reflection and personal development, as individuals can learn and improve through introspection and personal exploration.

We have seen all too clearly that there are mennow in power in this countrywho do not represent authority, who cannot cope with tradition, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support revolution as long as it is done with a cultured voice and a handsome profile.
