Quotes from Isaac Barrow

Facetiousness is allowable when it is the most proper instrument of exposing things apparently base and vile to due contempt.

Even private persons in due season, with discretion and temper, may reprove others, whom they observe to commit sin, or follow bad courses, out of charitable design, and with hope to reclaim them.

We should allow others' excellences, to preserve a modest opinion of our own.
