| "But I who have seen the nature of good that it is beautiful, and of the bad that is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong, that it akin to me, not only of the same blood or seed, but that it participates in the same intelligence and the same portion of the divinity, I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate him, for we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth." |

| You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. |
