“If a man thinks ill of you do not be angry with him, for you are far worse that he thinks you to be. If he charges you falsely at some point, yet be satisfied, for if he knew you better he might change the accusation and you would be no gainer for the correction. If you have your moral portrait and it is ugly, be satisfied, for it only needs a few blacker touches and it would be still nearer the truth.”

--- Charles Spurgeon
