“Those who forgive themselves and are able to accept their real nature, they are the strong ones.”
“Martin Luther explaining the attitude we ought to have toward those who offend us, said Christians should "grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves."

“Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love truth.”
