APHORISMS AND REFLECTIONS
The most considerable difference T note among men is not their readiness .to fall into an error, bub in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses. * * * * Quite apart from deliberate and conscious fraud (which is a rarer thing than is often supposed), people whose mythopoeic faculty is once stirred are capable of saying the thing that is not, and of acting as they should not, to an extent which is hardly imaginable by persons who arc no so easily affected by the contagon of blind faith. There* is no falsity so gross that honest men and, still more virtuous women, anxious bo promote a good cause, will nob bud themselves without any clear consciousness of the moral hearings of what they are doing.
