142. --As it is the mark of great minds to say manythings in a few words, so it is that of little minds touse many words to say nothing.
["So much they talked, so very little said. " Churchill, ROSCIAD, 550.
"Men who are unequal to the labour of discussing an ar-gument or wish to avoid it, are willing enough to supposethat much has been proved because much has been said. "-- Junius, JAN. 1769. ] 143. --It is oftener by the estimation of our ownfeelings that we exaggerate the good qualities of o...thersthan by their merit, and when we praise them we wishto attract their praise.
144. --We do not like to praise, and we never praisewithout a motive. Praise is flattery, artful, hidden, delicate, which gratifies differently him who praisesand him who is praised. The one takes it as the re-ward of merit, the other bestows it to show his im-partiality and knowledge.
