5237. MIND, Qualities of.—
I estimate
the qualities of the mind; 1, good humor; 2,
integrity; 3, industry; 4, science. The preference
of the first to the second quality May
not at first be acquiesced in; but certainly we
had all rather associate with a good-humored,
light-principled man, than with an ill-tempered
rigorist in morality.—
To Dr. Benjamin Rush. Washington ed. v, 225.
