"In the world of men we find nothing approaching the virtues of which Jesus spoke in the opening words of the Sermon on the Mount. Instead of poverty of spirit, we find the rankest kind of pride; instead of meekness, arrogance; instead of mercy, cruelty; instead of peacemakers we find men quarrelsome and resentful; instead of rejoicing in mistreatment we find them fighting back with every weapon at their command."
