who love us; our faults from the
enemy who hates us. We cannot easily
discover our real character from a

the warmth of our breath impedes the
clearness of the reflection.

that he's wrong. To win a bloodless

blow up his children
would only prove him right.

One enemy can do more hurt
than ten friends can do good.
?Jonathan Swift
In my life, I have prayed but one
