As soon say that man physically is spoiled, because he is
near-sighted, lame or stupid. If we had our choice between a new,

refuse to employ it as we may, because we know there are in the world a

"Is not condoning a man's sins, by failing to blame him, direct
encouragement to them?" said Mrs. D'Alloi.

elsewhere, to fight dishonesty wherever I found it. But I try to fight
the act, not the man. And if I find the evil doer beyond hope of
correction, I do not antagonize the doer of it. More can be done by
amity and forbearance than by embittering and alienating. Man is not
bettered by being told that he is bad. I had an alderman in here three
or four days ago who was up to mischief. I could have called him a
scoundrel, without telling him untruth. But I didn't.
