Daily Encouragement
Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “Good-nature is plentiful, but we want justice with a heart of steel, to fight down the proud.” If people are merely good-natured, then those who are arrogant and highhanded will have free rein to carry on as they please. Only those who fight with hearts of steel are people of justice.
