Abstain from all expressions whose object
is the manifestation of opposition to the will or judgment of
another; – no matter how trivial the occasion.
Contest not a point
of no practical importance
merely because
you are in the right,
the other and another in the wrong.
Out of such contests
spring dissension and
enmity.
If on account of
something which he
has done a demand
presents itself for speaking
of a man in the
correspondent unfavorable
light, mention the
particular fact, not in general
terms the opinion formed
by you on that
ground. The first fact may
prove the correctness of
your judgment of condemnation, the terms
of condemnation will
prove nothing perhaps
in the eyes of the person
you are conversing
with but the state
of your affection with
reference to the person
in question.
