“How brave of you, to insult a man who cannot understand you. How clever of you, to criticize him on your first impression before you know his true strengths and weaknesses. How kind of you, to do so to my face, before so many. You are truly a great man. It is a pity that you will never be First among us. What wonders you would have achieved, had you led us with all your courage, and cleverness, and kindness.”
