The truth is not only a joy,
it is an instrument in conflict more powerful than violence.
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how shall my brother sin against
me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto
thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
— Matthew 18:21 22
If you want to demonstrate some truth to your listeners, do not be
irritated, and do not say unkind or abusive words.
— After Epictetus
If you notice someone in error, then correct this person and his mistake
in a humble way. If he does not listen to you, blame yourself only; or, even
better, do not blame anybody, but continue to be humble.
— Marcus Aurelius
If you have parted from a person, and he was not satisfied with you, or
did not agree with you when you were right, he is not to blame, but probably it
is you who are to blame, because you were not kind enough with this man.
