Godliness

That is, it always manifests itself in harmony with the great moral law of the universe–it never does evil that good may come! You never hear it saying– I cannot say that this is exactly square; I know this is not exactly the right course, but then I can accomplish such and such objects by adopting it. Never! that is of the devil! You may always know that the law of righteousness is entwined round the very heart of Divine Charity, and as justice and judgment are the habitation of the throne of its Divine Author, so righteousness is in the very core of its soul. It will never sacrifice righteousness for peace, or anything else.
