Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

How to Win Friends and Influence People
Inspired by Isaac Newton (1643–1727)’s quote, “Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy”. The titled responsion is kinda funny to me knowing the lack of social skills that Isaac Newton was known for.
As a self-help book, this “reference” title has sold over 40 million copies. Not bad in terms of book sales! As a writer I am partially envious of such a staggering number of sales, I only wish the general public would gravitate towards something more substantial and less self-helpy. Where should they look? Personally, I would recommend starting with the Classics.
