As Hypocrisy Is Said To

Every Man, In His Own Opinion, Forms An Exception To The Ordinary Rules Of Morality.

We Had Rather Do Anything Than Acknowledge The Merit Of Another If We Can Help It. We Cannot Bear A Superior Or An Equal. Hence Ridicule Is Sure To Prevail Over Truth, For The Malice Of Mankind, Thrown Into The Scale, Gives The Casting Weight.
