Mr. Johnston, The prejudice of education, or some other
latent cause, has long riveted me to an opinion that some
degree of resentment and courage was absolutely necessary. .
. [to protect from insults]
therefore I had ever in my mind this passage of Shakespear:
"Good name in man or woman
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Tis mine; 'tis his' and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name,
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed."
