One Does Not Always Do The Best

To Tempt And Be Tempted Are Closely Allied; And In Spite Of All The Finest Moral Maxims Buried In The Mind, When Emotion Interferes, When Feeling Makes Its Appearance, One Is Already Much Further Involved That One Realizes, And I Have Still Not Learnt How To Prevent Its Appearance.

I Do Not Love Strife, Because I Have Always Found That In The End Each Remains Of The Same Opinion.

I Like To Praise And Reward Loudly, To Blame Quietly.

To Tempt, And To Be Tempted, Are Things Very Nearly Allied, And, In Spite Of The Finest Maxims Of Morality Impressed Upon The Mind, Whenever Feeling Has Anything To Do In The Matter, No Sooner Is It Excited Than We Have Already Gone Vastly Farther Than We Are Aware Of, And I Have Yet To Learn How It Is Possible To Prevent Its Being Excited.

It Is Better To Inspire A Reform Than To Enforce It.
