Let us remember that we are not here to convince men, but to let our light shine.
Knowledge is not necessarily light. And it is light, not knowledge, that we have to spread. The best thing we can do — infinitely the best, indeed the only thing — that men may receive the truth, is to be ourselves true. Beyond all doing of good is the being good, for he that is good not only does good things, but all that he does is good.
— George MacDonald, Your Life in Christ, p. 213
