Give no expression &and as far as you can avoid
it give no place in your mind to useless resentment –
not even where you feel that you are calumniated.
If you are accused of bad conduct past or intended
& it is in your power to disprove the accusation do
not fly into a passion
but give disproofs: to fly into a passion is naturally a guilty
man's sole & therefore natural resource: disproofs are the only
means of distinguishing your case from that of a guilty man's.
Where you think you observe marks of stupidity, beware of asperity
in your observations. Only in so far as negligence is the cause, can
they be of any use. Suppose negligence out of the question, the
effect of any asperity is to give purely useless pain, & to excite
resentment on the score of your injustice & cruelty as towards yourself.
