Էջ 106 - ... all malignant and revengeful thoughts. A spirit of revenge is the very spirit of the devil ; than which nothing makes a man more like him, and nothing can be more opposite to the temper which Christianity was designed to promote.

None is a greater self-tormentor than a malicious and revengeful man, who turns the poison of his own temper in upon himself.
