Before one blames, one should always find out whether one cannot excuse. To discover little faults has been always the particularity of such brains that are a little or not at all above the average. The superior ones keep quiet or say something against the whole and the great minds transform without blaming
If any one tells you that such a person speaks ill of you, do not make excuse about what is said of you, but answer: �He was ignorant or my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone�
On Destiny: "Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today."
