Cicero: “But if a man's ears are so closed to plain speaking that he cannot bear to hear the truth from a friend, we may give him…”

There are, on the other hand, two kinds of injustice--the one, on the part of those who inflict wrong, the other on the part of those who, when they can, do not shield from wrong those upon whom it is being inflicted.

Now, those who care for the interests of a part of the citizens and neglect another part, introduce into the civil service a dangerous element--dissension and party strife.

From this attitude come greatness of soul and a sense of superiority to worldly conditions.

Whether we do the kindness or not is optional; but to fail to requite one is not allowable to a good man, provided he can make the requital without violating the rights of others.
