"Past violence is detrimental to our present action, and it is not in the name of principles that we denounce it, but in the name of efficiency."

Previous Quote

As the years pass, and we look back on something which, at the time, seemed unbelievably discouraging and unfair, we come to realize that, after all, God was at all times on our side. The eventual outcome was, we discover, by far the best solution for us, and what we thought should have been to our best advantage, would in reality have been quite detrimental.
