EPICTETUS. DISCOURSES. Book ii. §12. ¶1.
Wednesday
May 6
ONLY give any of us that you please some
illiterate person for an antagonist, and he
will not find out how to treat him. But when he
hath a little moved the man, if he happens to
answer beside the purpose, he knows not how to
deal with him any further; but either reviles or
laughs at him, and says, "He is an illiterate fellow;
there is no making anything of him." Yet
a guide, when he perceives his charge going out
of the way, doth not revile and ridicule and then
leave him; but leads him into the right path.
Do you also show your antagonist the truth, and
you will see that he will follow. But till you do
show it, do not ridicule him; but rather be sensible
of your own incapacity.
