Discretion and Pride contrasted in a moral essay
The piece argues discretion as essential yet hard to acquire, warns youth against indiscretion, and cites historical examples. It discusses how birth or rank heightens scrutiny, quotes princes and nobles on speech, and compares pride with vanity, their aims, means, and social effects.
