I have been lately introduced to the famous Thomas Paine, and like him very well. He is vain beyond all belief, but he has reason to be vain, and for my part I forgive him.

He converses extremely well; and I find him wittier in discourse than in his writings, where his humour is clumsy enough.

I begin with humility, I act with humility, I end with humility. Humility leads to clarity. Humility leads to an open mind and a forgiving heart.

I begin with humility, I act with humility, I end with humility.
