To exaggerate is to weaken.

To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.

Superstition changes a man to a beast, fanaticism makes him a wild beast, and despotism a beast of burden.

We weaken what we exaggerate.

We never forget those who make us blush.

We always weaken whatever we exaggerate.

To exaggerate is to weaken.
