“For the matter o’ that, Phil, argeyment is a gift of Natur. If Natur has gifted a man with powers of argeyment, a man has a right to make the best of ‘em, and has not a right to stand on false delicacy, and deny that he is so gifted; for that is a turning of his back on Natur, a flouting of her, a slighting of her precious caskets, and a proving of one’s self to be a swine that isn’t worth her scattering pearls before.” — Barnaby Rudge

My Take – We all have talents, and it is right and proper that we use those talents in a way that is constructive.  Maybe your talent is shooting, or instructing, or arguing for your rights.  Maybe it’s cooking or sewing.  Perhaps you’re a born teacher or healer.  No matter what your talent is, never let anyone tell you that it’s wrong for you to exercise and grow it.
