… if anyone speaks to you about any matter, do not argue with him.
But if he speaks rightly, say: Yes.
If he speaks wrongly say to him: You know what you are saying.
But do not argue with him about the things he has said.
Thus your mind will be at peace.

– Thomas Merton, The Wisdom of the Desert, Saying X
