When a man comes to me, I accept him at his best, not at his worst. Why make so much ado? When a man washes his hands before paying a visit, and you receive him in that clean state, you do not thereby stand surety for his always having been clean in the past.
ConfuciusThe superior man is easy to serve, but difficult to please ... The inferior man is difficult to serve, but easy to please.
Confucius
