A quotation from Bertrand Russell

I think the gist of the matter is that a saint can live without politeness, and indeed that politeness is incompatible with a saintly character. But the man who is always to be sincere must be free from spite and envy and malice and pettiness. Most of us have a dose of these vices in our composition and therefore have to excerise tact to avoid giving offence. We cannot all be saints, and if saintliness is impossible, we may at least try not to be too disagreeable.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Essay (1933-02-01) “On Tact,” New York American

Being honest and honest in critiquing others may seem like a good idea, but without tact, it will simply come across as rude, ignorant, and unnecessary. Don't put others in a defensive mode by being too blunt. Use some tact. #tact #blunt #honest #critique #opinion

A quotation from Joseph Addison

Though a man has all other perfections, and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-11-17), The Spectator, No. 225

La vie en société, ce n’est pas facile tous les jours. Alors, autant avoir l’équipement adéquat, à commencer par le tact.

Le tact

Le tact Vivre au milieu des humains n'est guère chose aisée. C'est un choix audacieux qui a le mérite, à la différence de la claustration, de faire vivre des aventures tour à tour terre-à-terre et rocambolesques. Après avoir trouvé, avec le plus grand mal, sa place dans l'agora, entre une marchande des quatre saisons et un démonstrateur braillard vendeur de produits ménagers de piètre qualité — du moins les jours de foire — il faut tenter coûte que coûte de donner l'illusion d'être une personne…
