Social Opinion as a Sharp Knife

SOCIAL opinion is like a sharp knife. There are foolish people who regard it with terror, and dare not touch or meddle with it. There are more foolish people who, in rashness or defiance, seize it by the blade, and get cut for their pains. And there are other wise persons who seize it discreetly and boldly by the handle, and use it to carve out their own purposes.
