Seeing with better eyes We can recognize that the offender is a valuable human being who struggles with the same needs, pressures, and confusions that we struggle with. We will recognize that the incident really may not have been about us in the first place. Instead it was about the wrongdoer's misguided attempt to meet his or her own needs. As we regard offenders from this point of view (regardless of whether they repent and regardless of what they have done or suffered), we will be in a position to forgive them.

The product of the head, heart and hand is a thing to be loved.

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.

History: gossip well told.

Our admiration is so given to dead martyrs that we have little time for living heroes.

Logic is one thing and commonsense another.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
