SO GOOD QUOTES

If a person has an opportunity to save someone from an attack against him, would he not do under pretext of gentleness?

He could say: It is not my business. What have I to do with that? Leave me alone! Or rather he advances valiantly to save him, gently. In this way the Lord Christ saved the woman caught in the very act from being stoned. He said to those who wanted to stone her: “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” He said this gently, without revealing their sins, but wrote them down on the ground.

—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Fruits of the Spirit
