The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness. - Julia Ward Howe

Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.

Charity is an unending self-discipline which always looks and leads towards the eternal affection. Therefore, its triumph shall be lasting and everlasting.

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
