Everything has two handles : the one soft and manageable, the other such as will not endure to be touched. If, then, your brother do you an injury, do not take it by the hot and hard handle, by representing to yourself all the aggravating circumstances of the iact ; but look rather on the soft side, and extenuate it as much as possible, by considering the nearness of the relation and the long friendship and familiarity between you — obligations to kindness which a single provocation ought not to dissolve. And thus you will take the accident by its manageable end. — Epictetus.
