GEMS OF THOUGHT
GENTILITY. Gentility is the ability to ignore in others those faults or blemishes we will not tolerate in ourselves. —Anon. We should remember that we must not reflect on the wickedness of men, but contemplate the divine image in them; which, concealing and obliterating their faults, by its beauty and dignity allures us to embrace them in the arms of our love. —Calvin. Who hath not learned that when alone he has his own thoughts to guard, and when struggling with mankind his temper, and in society his tongue?—Mary Baker Eddy. We love ourselves notwithstanding our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like manner.—Cyrus. Unless you bear with the faults of a friend, you betray your own.—Publius Syrus. There is no outward sign of true courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foundation. —Goethe.
