ALL LEGISLATION, ALL GOVENMENT, ALL SOCIETY IS FOUNDED UPON THE PRINCIPLE OF MUTUAL CONCESSION, POLITENESS, COMITY, COURTESY; UPON THESE EVERYTHING IS BASED...LET HIM WHO ELEVATES HIMSELF ABOVE HUMANITY, ABOVE ITS WEAKNESSES, ITS INFIRMITIES, ITS WANTS, ITS NECESSITIEES, SAY, IF HE PLEASES, I WILL NEVER COMPROMISE; BUT LET NO ONE WHO IS NOT ABVOE THE FRAILITIES OF OUR COMMON NATURE DISDAIN COMPROMISES (Henry Clay)
