Karl Klein states about Rutherford's humility, (lol)
"Regarding his (Rutherford's) misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he once confessed to us at Bethel, 'I made an ass of myself.' "

I can't offer a WT quote, because the only ones I know are the ones I've read here and on 'quotes' sites (and a lot of them seem to blur into one, to be honest).

The one that says, and I'm paraphrasing but this is pretty close: "You don't need to do a lot of research. The research has been done for you."

Docbob, that was priceless!
