"A truly good person will speak truth, act with truth, and stand for Truth.

Oh no greater shame be upon anyone in this world, than the shame that be upon the heads of those who will not save the life that saved them. No greater evil, no greater shame. No greater trespass against God and angel and man; than a human who can say that they are entitled to repay good with evil."

The more often he feels without acting, the less he will ever be able to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel."

They do not come to the Bible to obtain their views of religion, but they open that Book to find texts to suit the opinions which they bring to it. They are not open to the honest force of truth, and therefore are not saved by it."

That, in Mma Ramotswe's view, was simple selfishness, whatever grand name one gave to it."
