Men in all ways are better than they seem．They like flattery for the moment，but they know the truth for their own．It is foolish cowardice which keeps us from trusting them and speaking to them rude truth．They resent your honesty for an instant；they will thank you for it always．What is it we heartily wish of each other? Is it to be pleased or flattered? No，but to be convicted and exposed，to be shamed out of our nonsense of all kinds，and made men of，instead of ghosts and phantoms．We are weary of gliding ghostlike through the world，which is itself so slight and unreal．We crave a sense of reality，though it comes in strokes of pain．

西汉·刘向《战国策·楚策一》：“虎求百兽而食之，得狐。狐曰：‘子无敢食我也！天帝使我长百兽，今子食我，是逆天帝命也。子以我为不信，吾为子先行，子随我后，观百兽之见我而敢不走乎？’虎以为然，故遂与之行，兽见之皆走。虎不知畏己而走也，以为畏狐也。”
