garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like
a storm that plays havoc with the garden." | |

| "Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of
justice. It can only be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond
justice. Justice requires that we carefully weigh rights and privileges
and assure that each member of a community receives his due share. Love
does not weigh rights and privileges too carefully because it prompts each
to bear the burden of the other." | |

Reinhold Niebuhr
