GEMS OF THOUGHT
TACT. A quick and sound judgment, good common sense, kind feeling, and an instinctive perception of character; in these are the elements of what is called tact, which has so much to do with acceptability and success in life. — Simmons. Talent is power; tact is skill. Talent is wealth; tact is ready money.—Scargill. It is not enough to have great qualities; we must also have the management of them—Rochefoucald. Tact comes as much from goodness of heart as from fineness of taste.— Endymion. A little tact and wise management may often evade resistance and carry a point, where direct force might be in vain.—Anon. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves—Jesus.
