If it is argued
that one who makes an unfair use of such faculty of speech may do a great deal
of harm, this objection applies equally to all good things except virtue, and
above all to those things which are most useful, such as strength, health,
wealth, generalship; for as these, rightly used, may be of the greatest benefit,
so, wrongly used, they may do an equal amount of harm.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
