In the conveying approbation to another for
meritorious conduct, – let the expression be warm & cordial. Let
the recompense be as much as the circumstances of the case
justify. Sincerity & candor indeed are modifications of veracity, –
or rather veracity is a modification of sincerity – but veracity has
its shapes more or less attractive – and when it has the matter
of pleasure at its disposal let its distribution be made as welcome as
possible to the receiver. That there is a manner of a favor denied may
doing that wi be made by the grace of its denial almost
as acceptable pleasurable as a benefit conferred has almost
passed into a proverb, – and that the language of approval may
lose all, – or almost all its acceptableness by its forms of expression
or manner of utterance, is within the observation of every man's
experience. Let your praise then when given be given
with all the accompaniments which make praise most
delightful. The exercise which conveys approbation is in itself most salutary. Let it be
grounded in the expression of truth combined with warm heartedness –
one sentence so characterized will be worth many in
which such qualities are wanting.
