Slander: How to Overcome It

Spurgeon's Illustration Collection


Some person reported to the amiable poet Tasso that a malicious enemy spoke ill of him to all the world. 'Let him persevere,' said Tasso, 'his rancour gives me no pain. How much better is it that he should speak ill of me to all the world, than that all the world should speak ill of me to him.'
