يَقُولُ: " ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ أَعْلَامِ حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ: قِلَّةُ الْخِلَافِ عَلَى الْمُعَاشِرِينَ، وَتَحْسِينُ مَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِهِمْ، وَإِلْزَامُ النَّفْسِ اللَّائِمَةِ فِيمَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ كَفًّا عَنْ مَعْرِفَةِ عُيُوبِهِمْ "، قَالَ: " وَثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ أَعْلَامِ الْحِلْمِ: قِلَّةُ الْغَضَبِ عِنْدَ مُخَالَفَةِ الرَّأْيِ، وَالِاحْتِمَالُ عَنِ الرَّدِيءِ إِخْبَاتًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَنِسْيَانُ إِسَاءَةِ الْمُسِيءِ إِلَيْهِ عَفْوًا عَنْهُ وَاتِّسَاعًا عَلَيْهِ "
