‘He who would be a saint so stern and selfish as to endure no evil words or acts, and to excuse no imperfections, is unfit to dwell among men. He knows nothing of Christian love...' (4.1: 315)
‘He who truly loves will be distressed that a beloved neighbor wickedly trespasses against God and himself.’ (4.1: 321)
‘Sincere love makes a clear distinction between the evil and the person; it is unfriendly to the former, but kind to the latter.’ (4.1: 321)
