  2. A quotation from Addison

    Good-nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty. It shows virtue in the fairest light, takes off in some measure from the deformity of vice, and makes even folly and impertinence supportable.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-09-13), The Spectator, No. 169
