[31] He is no gossip, for he will not talk either about himself or about another, as he neither wants to receive compliments nor to hear other people run down （nor is he lavish of praise either）; and so he is not given to speaking evil himself, even of his enemies, except when he deliberately intends to give offence.

Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
