But, in these cases; justice is surely due to one's self, as well as to others; and when our character is attacked, we may say in our own justification, what otherwise we never would have said. This thin veil of Modesty drawn before Vanity, is much too transparent to conceal it, even from very moderate discernment.
What guarantee hast thou, that he will not betray us to the Persians?" "The friendship and kindness which I have always shown him." "Dost thou believe in the gratitude of men?" "No! but I rely on my own discernment of character. Phanes will not betray us! he is my friend, I repeat it!" "Thy friend perhaps, but my mortal enemy!" "Then stand on thy guard! I have nothing to fear from him."
Have you never heard that the understanding is without any sense or discernment in mysteries, which constitute the whole of religion? And what have actions to do with religion? Is not the soul made blessed by the muttering of words from a devout heart concerning expiation, satisfaction, and imputation, and not by works?"
It is as unreasonable to expect either tunefulness or humor in a musical comedy as to expect a statement of fact in an advertisement. In short, where any human activity is conventionalized, standards are arbitrarily fixed; and critical discernment grows dull if it does not altogether atrophy.

Or else this vision came, not from God, but, on the contrary, from the devil, and was evil. In that case I should doubt whether the former ones had, as I thought, a celestial origin. I am therefore incapable of that discernment which is necessary for the ascetic. In either case it is plain that God is no longer with me, of which I feel the effects, though I cannot explain the cause."
And I believe he's enough of a man to appreciate the aunts and uncles and cousins, even those of them who don't patronize city tailors and dressmakers. Why, they're perfectly delightful people, every one of them, and he will have the discernment to see it." "I don't believe it. Where have you seen him that you have so much more confidence than I have?"
The instinct of life, the fear of death, doubtless obscured my judgment, troubled my discernment. I accepted, for I believed everything Sidney said to me. Alas! why was I so insane?" "Insane? Faith, you would have been insane had you not accepted!" cried Croustillac. "Who, indeed, would have hesitated in your place?" added Angela.
