- Quotes by Jean de La Bruyere

“Forhe maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. Resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Let us do evil, that good may come. Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is fo God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God”.
- Quotes by Sir Isaiah Berlin
