  7. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    I think the gist of the matter is that a saint can live without politeness, and indeed that politeness is incompatible with a saintly character. But the man who is always to be sincere must be free from spite and envy and malice and pettiness. Most of us have a dose of these vices in our composition and therefore have to excerise tact to avoid giving offence. We cannot all be saints, and if saintliness is impossible, we may at least try not to be too disagreeable.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Essay (1933-02-01) “On Tact,” New York American

  8. A quotation from Thoreau

    The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed of them.

    Journal (1852-07-14)
