Excerpt from Bible of Reason, Vol. 1: Or, Scriptures of Ancient Moralist

It discovers peculiar excellence in a man, to bear good-will even towards those from whom he has received insults. This we shall be disposed to do, if we reflect that the offender is our neighbour; that he may have acted through a mistaken impulse, and perhaps involuntary; and, moreover, that both he and we shall soon go quietly enough into our graves. But, above all, we should consider that we have sustained but little real injury, as our minds, or intelligent facul ties, could not be degraded by another's oflbnce.
