"Rare qualities may sometimes be prerogatives without being……" — Robert Boyle

"Rare qualities may sometimes be prerogatives without being advantages; and though a needless ostentation of ones excellencies may be more glorious, a modest concealment of them is usually more safe; and an unseasonable disclosure of flashes of wit may sometimes do a man no other service than to direct his adversaries how they may do him a mischief."
