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 oft 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.
