Virtue and vice

Virtue has often been crushed out of the front rank as vice forced its way to preeminence. The praying man often has to kneel upon cold stones while the profane man walks on velvet.
--Joseph Parker

Young man, are you striving to do good, and are others imputing wrong motives to you? Do not be particular about answering them. Just go straight on and yourlife will be the best refutation of the charges.
--Charles Spurgeon
