Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. Voltaire
Both angels and demons are ignorant of the future, yet they make predictions. The angels do so when God reveals the future to them and commands them to prophesy, and what they prophesy comes to pass. Demons also make predictions, but these are only guesses based on what they see from afar. John of Damascus
And should you hear any one in the public thoroughfare, or in the midst of the forum, blaspheming God; go up to him and rebuke him; and should it be necessary to inflict blows, spare not to do so. Smite him on the face; strike his mouth; sanctify thy hand with the blow... John Chrysostom
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so. Biblical Proverb
If you're to cure a chicken you do so while it is still kicking. African Proverb
A tree that refuses to dance will be made to do so by the wind. African Proverb
