Sydney Smith: Find fault, when you must find fault, in private, if possible, and some time…

Find fault, when you must find fault, in private, if possible, and some time after the offence, rather than at the time.

In today’s wordsWhen you must find fault, do it in private if possible, and some time after the offense rather than at the time.
