Do Not Quarrel on the Way, Philadelphia

When humility and meekness are good and true, they preserve us from the swelling and burning heat that injuries are likely to raise in our hearts. When correction is born of passion, even if it be accompanied with reasonable explanations, we do not accept it as readily as we do that which is born of reason alone. Nothing appeases the enraged elephant as quickly as does the sight of a little lamb; nothing breaks the force of cannonballs as easily as does wool. We must indeed resist evil and restrain the vices of those under our charge,. constantly and courageously, though always remaining meek and peaceful in so doing.
