Tact

By Henry Lee

TACT is that rare quality which ever acts wisely and discreetly. It is courteous and refined, and embodies many virtues. It is, from every point of view, a very desirable acquirement. It disarms prejudice and jealousy. With it, the politician can soothe the ruffled feelings of his opponent. In home life, it possesses a charm of manner which captivates all hearts. By its use, breaches are healed, the jagged edges of friction become smoothed, words of anger become words of love; and where discord reigned, there are harmony, peace, and happiness.—Henry Lee.
