There is no merit in such goodness.”“A great deal: you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and sothey would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should—so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.”“You will change your mind, I hope, when you grow older: as yet you are but a little untaught girl.”“But I feel this, Helen; I must dislike those who, whatever I do to please them, persist in disliking me; I must resist those who punish me unjustly. It is as natural as that I should love those who show me affection, or submit to punishment when I feel it is deserved.”“Heathens and savage tribes hold that doctrine, but Christians and civilised nations disown it.” “How? I don’t understand.”“It is not violence that best overcomes hate—nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.”“What then?”“Read the New Testament, and observe what Christ says, and how He acts; make His word your rule, and His conduct your example.”“What does He say?”“Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you and despitefully use you.","author":"Charlotte Brontë","tags":["affection","goodness","respecting-others"],"id":10497,"author_id":"Charlotte+Bront%C3%AB"},{"text":"Liking me is optional. . .Respecting me is not!","author":"Izey Victoria Odiase","tags":["courtesy","respect","respect-others","respect","respect-yourself","respected","respectful","respecting-others","respecting-yourself"],"id":21612,"author_id":"Izey+Victoria+Odiase"},{"text":"I respect a woman who can respect me when I'm not around.","author":"Mark W.
