"Not all wounds are healed by the same plaster."

"If you love good disciples, it is no credit to you [cf. Luke 6:32]; instead, bring the more troublesome into subjection by gentleness. 'Not all wounds are healed by the same plaster'. "Be prudent as the serpent' in every matter 'and sincere as the dove' [Matt 10:16] always. You are both fleshly and spiritual for this reason, that you may deal gently with what appears before your face..." Letters of St. Ignatious - The letter to Polycarp #2
