"The people who are good at being civil often lack strong convictions and people who have strong convictions often lack civility."

Previous Quote

The insolent civility of a proud man is, if possible, more shocking than his rudeness could be; because he shows you, by his manner, that he thinks it mere condescension in him; and that his goodness alone bestows upon you what you have no pretense to claim.

— Lord Chesterfield
