He who, when called upon to speak a disagreeable truth, tells it boldly and has done is both bolder and milder than he who nibbles in a low voice and never ceases nibbling.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of speaking the truth fearlessly and directly, especially when it may be difficult or unpleasant. It suggests that being straightforward and upfront about one's opinions or concerns is not only a display of courage but also displays a sense of fairness and kindness. It contrasts this with those who choose to subtly and subtly express their opinions, implying that their approach can be more detrimental and never-ending than boldly expressing the truth.
