There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior,
like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good
to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'Tis better
to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give
courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as
we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage
of a good light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
