Reinhold Niebuhr

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime, therefore, we are saved by hope. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone. Therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own; therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness."

--Reinhold Niebuhr
