Who said “Tact is after all a kind of mind reading.”?

“Forbear to mention what thou canst not praise.”

“Tact is knowing how far to go too far.”

“It is tact that is golden, not silence.”

“One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house.”

“Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.”

“Wrecked on the lee shore of age.”

“The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper -- whether little or great, it belongs to Literature.”

“It does seem so pleasant to talk with an old acquaintance who knows what you know. I see so many new folks nowadays who seem to have neither past nor future. Conversation has got to have some root in the past, or else you have got to explain every remark you make, and it wears a person out.”
