LEIBNIZ: ON THE IGNORANT AND THE ABLE[A IV 5, p540] The ignorant have this advantage, that there are fewer grounds to doubt their good faith. But when I see able people from the Roman side speak against the Protestants in an insulting way, as if they had nothing significant to say, I have need of all my moderation and of all my restraint not to have a bad opinion of their heart. © Lloyd Strickland 2006 |
