A Great Proof
It is no small proof of virtue to live a good life among the depraved, to preserve the pureness of innocence, and gentleness of character, among the evil-disposed; it is still a greater one to be peaceful with those who are hostile to peace, and to show yourself a friend to your enemies themselves.
-St. Bernard.
