Quote by G.K. Chesterton
“Depreciam o Cristianismo aqueles que afirmam ter ele descoberto a compaixão: qualquer um podia descobrir a compaixão. E, de fato, todos o fizeram. Mas descobrir uma maneira de ser compassivo e, ao mesmo tempo, severo - isto foi antecipar uma estranha necessidade da natureza humana. Ninguém deseja ser perdoado de um grande pecado como se fosse de um pecado pequeno.”
― G.K. Chesterton ,
