Doing Right in the Right Way

It is possible to do a proper thing in an improper way, so that an act which is praiseworthy in itself, may not only fail of commendation, but actually call forth censure. We should endeavor to act with such consistency and propriety that our good be not evil spoken of. Much more depends upon manner than many persons are disposed to think. There are men of fine talent and great moral worth, whose performances possess real merit, but who, because of their mannerism are depreciated, or even condemned. We should not only do what is right, but endeavor to do it in the right way.
