Quotes to Consider
"The last temptation that's the greatest treason is to do the right
thing for the wrong reason." --T.S. Elliot (Rolheiser, 60).
For John Henry Newman, "hope rested not on the apparent success
or failure of his undertakings but on the God in whose light he sought
to walk" (Healey MSW, 185).
Barsanuphius, the "Great Old Man" of the sixth century, believed
our attitude about success or failure counted far more than whether we
accomplished the deed or not. (Tugwell, 91).
Pelagius focused on getting people to do the deed, the right thing. Augustine looked at the motive behind it (Tugwell, 65).
