Do not let the timidity of other another induce you
to act intolerantly towards him. If in ordinary cases a
benevolent man would avoid giving pain, still more would he
would be anxious to avoid it were any additional susceptibility
excited in the mind of the sufferer.

So in case of dullness. Let a man be naturally
ever so stupid – do not give him reason to believe that
you are annoyed by his stupidity – do not let him
perceive that you have discovered it. Nothing that you
can say or do can make him less stupid than nature has
made him, – & you telling him of his stupidity will only
bring bad consequences to both – to him by the uneasiness
you cannot fail to give him – to you by that ill-will
which no stupidity will prevent being excited to a greater
or less extent in his bosom.
