So if you have to live amongst men, you must allow everyone the right to exist in accordance with the character he has, whatever it turns out to be: and all you should strive to do is to make use of this character in such a way as its kind and nature permit, rather than to hope for any alteration in it, or to condemn it off-hand for what it is. This is the true sense of the maxim--Live and let live. That, however, is a task which is difficult in proportion as it is right; and he is a happy man who can once for all avoid having to do with a great many of his fellow creatures.

As with any philosophical study, the trappings are there for those who want to avoid introspection and instead seek to twist all answers to fit their own unasked questions. However, those who reject the unexamined self will find plenty to think about.
One of my favorite quotes: "And on passing his fortieth year, any man of the slightest power of mind--any man, that is, who has more than the sorry share of intellect with which nature has endowed five-sixths of mankind--will hardly fail to show some trace of misanthropy." ( )
