In intercourse with others it may sometimes be
demanded by benevolence that their opinions or others should be
corrected on points affecting their own happiness. In
general however, it becomes us rather to seek points of
agreement than points of difference – but where points
of difference are to be discussed give the discussion rather
the character of a joint search after truth – an Inquiry
by which both are to be benefited – than of a
contention for victory, – or an exhibition of dogmatism.
Knowledge communicated by benevolence has the united
charm of intellect & virtue – intellect engaged in
producing good & banishing clearing the ground of evil & virtue engaged in
covering it with good.
