Shall then this human heart
live for itself; gather and store for
its own delectation, for its own good?
There is no such thing as one’s own good. Goodness is mutual, is communal, is only
gained by giving and receiving.
- Haultain[1]
[1] This
could be either Frederick W. Haultain (1821-1882), a member of Canadian
Parliament in the 1860s, or his son Frederick W. A. G. Haultain (1857-1942),
the first premier of the Northwest Territories.
