Those who err in one direction, always take care to let you know that they are quite free from error in the opposite direction. A boorish man thanks God very loudly that he is not insincere nobody having ever thought of accusing him even of that small and wretched approach to politeness, which is sometimes flavored by insincerity.


— Sir Arthur Helps, p. 539. (Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895))
