On liars and tyrants

...It is not advisable to show kindness to a person 
who is a tyrant, a traitor or a thief because kindness 
encourages him to become worse and does not 
awaken him. The more kindness you show to a liar 
the more he is apt to lie, for he thinks that you know 
not, while you do know, but extreme kindness keeps 
you from revealing your knowledge.
 
 
Abdu'l-Baha
