I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise.


letter to Francis Hopkinson, March 13, 1789


I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise.

I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise.

I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise.
