Christ tells us to aim very high, not to be like Abraham or David or any of the saints, but to be like our heavenly Father.”

He becomes impatient and then gives vent to anger and begins to do unworthy things; he jumps from action to action never remaining faithful to any.

Mahatma Gandhi

“The clause too, reprobating the enslaving the inhabitants of Africa, was struck out in complaisance to South Carolina and Georgia, who had never attempted to restrain the importation of slaves, and who on the contrary still wished to continue it.
