DO NOT NOURISH THE SPIRIT OF CONTRADICTION
It only proves you foolish or peevish and prudence should guard against this strenuously. To find difficulties in everything may prove you clever but such wrangling writes you down as a fool. Such folk make a war out of the most pleasant conversation and in this way act as enemies toward their associates rather than toward those with whom they do not consort. Grit grates most in delicacies, and so does contradiction in amusement. They are both foolish and cruel who yoke together the wild beast and the tame.
