Quote by Benjamin Franklin

The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.

The absent are never without fault, nor the present without

Summary

This quote suggests that those who are absent, or not present in a given situation, can still be held responsible for their actions or lack thereof. Likewise, it implies that those who are present cannot use the absence of others as an excuse for their own behavior or choices. In essence, it emphasizes personal accountability and rejects the notion of blaming external circumstances for one's own faults or inadequacies.

The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we

The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed...But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren't. Either way, we're for it.
