A man can no more diminish Gods glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, darkness on the walls of his cell. – C. S. Lewis
Speak not too well of one who scarce will know himself transfigured in its roseate glow; Say kindly of him what is, chiefly, true, remembering always he belongs to you; Deal with him as a truant, if you will, But claim him, keep him, call him brother still! – Oliver Wendell Holmes
