The moving force of
all perfection, both for individuals and for whole nations, is not the understanding
of what exists in this world, but the understanding of what can be achieved.
The weaker my hands,
the more effort I should make to achieve perfection.
You must be as perfect as your father in heaven.
— Matthew 5:48
The perfection of
the highest kindness is the goal for which all mankind strives. Christian
learning about perfection is a tool for all mankind.
A person who sails
far from the shore can see some shorelines or cliffs. But when sailors go really
far away from the shore, they can be guided only by the stars high up in the
sky, and the compass which indicates their direction, and both these things are
given to us.
No matter how low a
person may fall, he will always be able to see that perfection toward which he
should move.
