| Have common sense and stick to the point. |

| I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues. |
| I don't know why it is that the religious never ascribe common sense to God |
