Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me



"A good end cannot
sanctify evil means nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it.
It is as great a presumption to send our passions upon God's errands as
it is to palliate them with God's name...We are too ready to retaliate,
rather than forgive or gain by love and information. And yet we could
hurt no man that we believe loves us.



"Let us then try what love
will do, for if men did once see we love them we should soon find they
would not harm us. Force may subdue...but love gains, and he that
forgives first wins the laurel."
