Proverb of the day

I signed up for this thing online to receive a Spanish proverb a day. It's a nice little bite of Spanish practice in the morning which is a nice way to set the right frame of mind for the day. Sometimes they're sayings; sometimes they're famous quotes; sometimes sincere; sometimes sarcastic. I really liked the one for today, so I thought I'd share it:

Comienza a manifestarse la madurez cuando sentimos que nuestra preocupación es mayor por los demás que por nosotros mismos.
- Albert Einstein


(Translation: "Maturity begins to manifest itself when we feel a greater worry for others than for ourselves.")
