But it is much stronger than that, much more positive. They are annoyed. Very odd, isn't it.

No man can expect to find a friend without faults; nor can he propose himself to be so to another. Without reciprocal mildness and temperance there can be no continuance of friendship.

It is better for a man to depend on himself, than to be annoyed with either a madman or a fool.
