Whenever I speak of my neighbor, the tongue in my mouth is like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon who wishes to cut between the nerves and the tendons. The stroke I give must be neither more nor less than the truth.
(St. Frances
de Sales from Introduction To The Devout Life)
I always admire the people I know who never say anything bad about anyone else, no matter how reprehensible the person may be.
