About This Quote
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse is a quotation from the work of Charles Perrault. It refers to someone who is careful with his words and chooses his words carefully. He does not speak for the sake of speaking or boasting, but always has a reason for everything he says. He doesn’t say something without thinking it through first.
He is very cautious with his words and wishes to avoid saying anything that might offend someone. He is also very meticulous in all of his actions. This type of person is very logical and though he may be slow to act, he has good reason for it.
