"You must arrange your life in such a manner that in the first place you are a servant of God, that is, that you trust God not only so far as this temporal life is concerned but also because He is forever our God, whom we shall have and keep forever, even if everything else should fail and cease to be.
In the second place, you should show kindness not only to friends but also to enemies. If they have thanked you, it is well and your favor has been conferred so much more auspiciously; but if they trample you underfoot and substitute hatred for thanks, your kindness has nevertheless not been wasted, and you have followed the example of your Father in heaven, who lets His sun rise over the good and the evil. (Matt 5:45)"
