  2. From 2 Corinthians 11:1-12:13, Paul addressed the Corinthian Christians in a "little #foolishness," speaking in ways he might not otherwise do so because of the kinds of matters he was compelled to address. 

    In 2 Corinthians 11:1-15, he would thus speak about being not less than the "super-apostles," how he would not be ashamed of not being a burden to them, and how his opponents were false apostles leading them astray.

  4. A quotation from Montaigne

    A man must not always tell all, for that were folly: but what a man says should be what he thinks, otherwise ’tis knavery.
     
    [Il ne faut pas tousjours dire tout, car ce seroit sottise : Mais ce qu’on dit, il faut qu’il soit tel qu’on le pense : autrement, c’est meschanceté.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]
