“If you confront insult or antagonism, your first impulse would be to respond in kind. But if you think, as it were, This is an emissary sent from the Lord, and some benefit is inteded for me, first of all the occasion to demonstrate my faithfulness, the chance to show that I do in some small degree participate in the grace that saved me, you are free to act otherwise than as circumstances would seem to dictate. You are free to act by your own lights. You are freed at the same time of the impulse to hate or resent that person.”

“விவேகம் ========= கட்டுப்பாடில்லாமல் தன் மனதை ஓடவிடுவது, ஆபத்தில் முடியும், கட்டுப்பாடில்லாமல் வாகனத்தை ஓட்டிவிடுவது, விபத்தில் முடியும்! இடதுபுறமிருந்து முந்துவதும், வேகத்தை உந்துவதும், எதில் முடியும்? நம்பியவர்களிடமிருந்து நீங்குவதும், ரத்தம் சிந்துவதுமாக முடியும்! நிதானமாக, உன் வண்டியை நீ செலுத்தாவிட்டால், நீ தானமாக, உன் உயிரையே செலுத்த வேண்டி வரும்! வாகன நேரத்தில், எல்லை அடையும் வரை, பொறுமையோடு ஓட்டுபவன் எவன்? வா! கண நேரத்தில், உன்னை அடைவேன்! எருமையோடு காத்திருப்பான் எமன்!”
