No one learns more about a problem than the person at the bottom. In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute. Flattery brings friends, truth enemies. Flattery is counterfeit money which, but for vanity, would have no circulation. One-half the troubles of this can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough. Truth hurts not the searching after; the running from! The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. Foolproof systems dont take into account the ingenuity of fools. Swift gratitude is the sweetest. Wit is educated insolence.
