That the question of likability even exists in literary conversations is odd. It implies that we are engaging in a courtship.

Require nothing unreasonable of your officers and men, but see that whatever is required be punctually complied with. Reward and punish every man according to his merit, without partiality or prejudice; hear his complaints; if well founded, redress them; if otherwise, discourage them, in order to prevent frivolous ones. Discourage vice in every shape, and impress upon the mind of every man, from the first to the lowest, the importance of the cause, and what it is they are contending for (Merit Quotes)
Woman’s weakness, not man’s merit, oftenest gains the suitor’s victory (Merit Quotes)
