....almost anything if they think that it will gain them more money, more love or more respect. It's all rather sad, to say nothing of counterproductive. Money earned through insincere action is soon wasted on unnecessarily indulgence. Love attained through a false promise is soon lost. Recognition given to an empty gesture is rapidly replaced by criticism.
If there is ever pressure on you to lower a standard or to compromise an important principle, the apparent reward is probably not really worth having.
Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation.
(William Wilberforce)
