Sydney Smith on a "Maxim and Rule of Life"

Remember that every person,
however low, has rights and feelings.

In all contentions, let PEACE be rather your object,
than triumph: value triumph only as the means
of peace!

(page 178 top, in Peter Virgin's excellent biography:

SYDNEY SMITH (1994, HarperCollins))
