Little Sermon on Motiues

When you argue a case with a man,
don't deal too much with his motives,
lest he impugn your own, and when il
comes to that one simply discs down TO
the deprnvity of the human heart which
is too deep for the truth to reach. The
only way to argue is to assume your op-
ponent is honest and sincere, and when
you do that you show respect for your
own logic. One gains nothing If he ar
gnes about motives; for then he only
gets into n mire where he himself sticks
among the poisonous weeds and mud
pythons. So If you think your opponent
is governed by bad motives. let him alone
Even IL you prove that he is under the
sway of bad motives. where does it leave
