“Never offend an enemy in a small way.”
“So many of us make a great fuss of matters of small consequence. We are so easily offended. Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way.”
“Woe to the man who offends a small child!”
“Defending yourself is not the same as offending your enemy. Watch what you say.”
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
“Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance.”
