[I]t seems to me as clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime.

Violence begins with the fork.

Terrorism and deception are weapons not of the strong, but of the weak.

To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
