Dostoyevsky

Hans Memling

At some ideas you stand perplexed,
especially at the sight of human sins,
uncertain whether to combat it by force
or by humble love.
 Always decide,
"I will combat it with humble love."
If you make up your mind about that
once and for all, you can conquer the
whole world.
Loving humility is a terrible force;
it is the strongest of all things
and there is nothing like it.
             Dostoyevsky
