“It would be better for the sun and moon to drop from heaven, for the earth to fail and for all the millions on it to die in extremest agony, than that one soul, I will not say be lost, but should commit one venial sin, should tell one willful untruth, or should steal one poor farthing without excuse”.
John Henry Newman, Apologia pro vita sua
