It may be from some moral obliquity in myself, or from some strange disease; but for me, and i should think too for every human being in whose breast a human heart is beating, to know that one single creature is in that dreadful place would make a hell of heaven itself. and they have hearts in heaven, for they love there.

It May Be From Some Moral Obliquity

James Anthony Froude
It may be from some moral obliquity in myself, or from some strange disease; but for me, and i should think too for every human being in whose breast a human heart is beating, to know that one single creature is in that dreadful place would make a hell of heaven itself. and they have hearts in heaven, for they love there.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.
Powerful Men Differences
"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."
Fear Responsibility Men
A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. a solemn consideration, when i enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!
Heart Night Cities
Even there, in the mines, underground, i may find a human heart in another convict and murderer by my side, and i may make friends with him, for even there one may live and love and suffer. one may thaw and revive a frozen heart in that convict, one may wait upon him for years, and at last bring up from the dark depths a lofty soul, a feeling, suffering creature; one may bring forth an angel, create a hero! there are so many of them, hundreds of them, and we are all to blame for them. [...] if they drive god from the earth, we shall shelter him underground.
Hero Heart Angel
Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
Friends now fast sworn, whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart, whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love, unseparable, shall within this hour, on a dissension of a doit, break out to bitterest enmity; so fellest foes, whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep to take the one the other, by some chance, some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends and interjoin their issues.
Passion Heart Sleep

Happiness cannot come from without. it must come from within. it is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Happiness Thinking Compassion
I support all people on earth who have bodies like and unlike my body, skins and moles and old scars, secret and public hair, crooked toes. i support those who have done nothing large.
Compassion Hair People
As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.
Passion Long Missing
Compassion gives us a common ground to stand on regardless of your faith background. it gives us a chance to stand shoulder-to-shoulder rather than go fist-to-fist with somebody.
