Love your fellow creature, though vicious. Hate vice in the friend you love the most. - James Burgh

What may be very entertaining in company with ignorant people may be tiresome to those who know more of the matter.

If you would have a right to account of things from illiterate people, let them tell their story in their own way; if you put them upon talking according to logical rules, you will confound them.

If you happen into company where the talk runs into party, obscemty, scandal, folly, or vice of any kind, you had better pass for morose or unsocial, among people whose good opinion is not worth having, than shock your own conscience by joining in conversation which you must disapprove of.
