As the malicious disposition of mankind is too well known, and the cruel pleasure which they take in destroying the reputation of others, the use we are to make of this knowledge is, to afford no handle for reproach; for bad as the world is, it seldom falls on anyone who hath not given some slight cause for censure.
Henry FieldingThere is perhaps no surer mark of folly, than to attempt to correct natural infirmities of those we love.
