But, perhaps, you say, "I cannot love my neighbors, because, for all I do for them, they return ingratitude and contempt."
That leaves more room for the heroism of love.
Would you be a featherweight warrior, instead of bearing the rough fight of love?
He who dares the most will win the most.
If your path of love is rough, tread it boldly, still loving your neighbors through thick and thin.
- C. H. Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
