Are following sentences right? In book, it's written as follow. "The more we know one another, the better able we will be to live together in the world." why "able" is placed before "we"? Isn't "able" between "be" and "to"? And I couldn't understand following sentence, though I tried to get the point of this sentence. So I want to make sense of meaning of it. "You see how little one person may know what is in another's mind even when the other is trying to show him."

First sentence: Yes, between "be" and "to" is more usual, but before "we" is not incorrect. Second sentence: You can see that: One person can understand very little of what another person thinks, even though this person is trying very hard to show the first person what he thinks.
