Better sometimes to be blind, dumb, and deaf

It's better sometimes to be blind to the faults of some poor fellow beings.

Than to view them with visions unkind when there's good we ought to be seeing. 

It's better sometimes to be dumb than to speak just to be criticizing. 

Though it seems to be given some to recall traits both mean and despising,

Its better sometimes to be deaf than to hear only lying and pander, 

For there's nothing so low as of a good name destroyed by slander.
