    Being correct doesn’t give you the right to be an ass. That’s just as bad as being vain is, at least.

      There are times to be nice and there are times to be blunt. There is no time vanity is useful.

        Just as being vain can be an excess of self-confidence, being rude can be an excess of being blunt. It would be good not to cross that threshold without a solid purpose. What I’m saying is: this was not a good time to be blunt.
