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)]

   Where people went wrong was thinking that simple meant the same thing as stupid.

A quotation from Maurois, Andre:

«
Sincerity must be used in moderation, even with our most intimate friends. To be too frank is to put into an opinion what may be simply ill temper; it is to risk losing a friend because of a poorly digested roast, a headache, a thunderstorm.

In How To Tell A Friend From A Flatterer, Plutarch gives a number of good reasons why friendship requires frankness of speech (parrhesia). But he spends equal time stressing that this doesn't mean anything goes in criticism! Legitimate limits and a sense of proportion are needed.
