The Comfort Derived From The Misery Of

A Good Orator Is Pointed And Impassioned.

For Nothing Is More Commendable, Nothing More Becoming In A Preeminently Great Man Than Courtesy And Forbearance.

The Man Who Backbites An Absent Friend, Nay, Who Does Not Stand Up For Him When Another Blames Him, The Man Who Angles For Bursts Of Laughter And For The Repute Of A Wit, Who Can Invent What He Never Saw, Who Cannot Keep A Secret -- That Man Is Black At Heart: Mark And Avoid Him.

But If You Should Take The Bond Of Goodwill Out Of The Universe No House Or City Could Stand, Nor Would Even The Tillage Of The Fields Abide. If That Statement Is Not Clear, Then You May Understand How Great Is The Power Of Friendship And Of Concord From A Consideration Of The Results Of Enmity And Disagreement. For What House Is So Strong, Or What State So Enduring That It Cannot Be Utterly Overthrown By Animosities And Division?

Care Must Be Taken That The Punishment Does Not Exceed The Offence.
