Gabriel Picart Art
Almost all of us long for peace and freedom; but very few of us have much enthusiasm for the thoughts, feelings, and actions that make for peace and freedom. If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see. As no roads are so rough as those that have just been mended, so no sinners are so intolerant as those that have just turned saints. When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty. We have two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practice and another which we practice but seldom preach. Many of us believe that wrongs aren't wrong if it's done by nice people like ourselves. Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. Your religion is what you do when the sermon is over. The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.
