Aphorism #83 Allow Yourself some venial Fault.

Some such carelessness is often the greatest recommendation of talent. For envy exercises ostracism, most envenomed when most polite, It counts it to perfection as a failing that it has no faults; for being perfect in all it condemnsit in all. It becomes an Argus, all eyes for imperfection: ’tis its only consolation. Blame is like the lightning; it hits the highest. Let Homer nod now and then and affect some negligence in valour or in intellect--not in prudence--so as to disarm malevolence, or at least to prevent its bursting with its own venom. You thus leave your cloak on the horns of Envy in order to save your immortal parts.http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y81X88eGofs5UANqRvH7-3riHzE/0/di (http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y81X88eGofs5UANqRvH7-3riHzE/0/da)
