Candor: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

I wandered by the brook-side, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still. RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES (Lord Houghton)-The Brookside. I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever.— TENNYSON — The Brook.

the Poet Seeks.

Candor is the seal of a noble mind, the ornament and pride of man, the sweetest charm of woman, the scorn of rascals, and the rarest virtue of sociability. γ. BENTZEL-STERNAÛ. As frank as rain On cherry blossoms.— E. B. BROWNING — Aurora Leigh. Bk. III. L. 957.

Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe; Bold I can meet-perhaps may turn his blow; But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send, Save, save, oh! save me from the candid friend.— GEORGE CANNING — New Morality.
