John Kenneth Galbraith, economist

In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong. -John Kenneth Galbraith, economist (1908-2006)

I think that a truly humble person can follow this advice safely, but the arrogant should be very careful.
