The wit of conversation consists
more Of finding it in others than in
showing great deal yourself. He
who goes out of your company, pleased
with his own righteousness and inge-

again. Most men had rather please
than admire you, and seek less to be
instructed and diverted than approved

most delicate sort Of pleasure to please
another. But that sort of wit which
employs itself insolently in criticizing

the ends of conversation. He who
