The part of the philanthropist is indeed a dangerous one; and the man who would do his neighbour good must first study how not to do him evil, and must begin by pulling the beam out of his own eye.

Everybody deserves to be adored
Why would you settle for less?
The hurt has you now
But soon it’ll make you strong
And your loveliness goes on and on
—The Submarines “Submarine Symphonika”
And very much I need a quickened gratitude for the countless helps given every day.
—Amy Carmichael
but if you don’t try you might just succeed at nothing. sometimes failure requires a certain effort.

O my children, if only you would make up your minds never to doubt the love of another. but always to think the best and never admit an unkind thought in your heart, how happy, how heavenly, life would be. If this were the last time I could speak to you I should say just these words, Beloved, let us love, O let us love. We perish if we do not love. Let us love.
—Amy Carmichael
