But I tell you that he is not guilty of the charge you make against him—he never wrote that paper.
— from Mohammed Ali and His House by L. (Luise) Mühlbach

But as a servant of holy Truth, I say to you that harshness is not good, even when used towards one who deceives, because gentleness might perhaps bring him to repent of his deceit; and I say also, Padre, that in your words there is not the spirit of our true and; only Father, to whom be all glory!”
— from The Saint by Antonio Fogazzaro
