Who Trades In Contradictions Will Not Be

He Who, When Called Upon To Speak A Disagreeable Truth, Tells It Boldly And Has Done Is Both Bolder And Milder Than He Who Nibbles In A Low Voice And Never Ceases Nibbling.

The Most Stormy Ebullitions Of Passion, From Blasphemy To Murder, Are Less Terrific Than One Single Act Of Cool Villainy.

He Knows Very Little Of Mankind Who Expects, By Any Facts Or Reasoning, To Convince A Determined Party Man.

Trust Him Little Who Praise All, Him Less Who Censures All And Him Least Who Is Indifferent About All.

Say Not You Know Another Entirely Till You Have Divided An Inheritance With Him.
