Buddhism Day by Day: Only Those Who Fight With Hearts of Steel Are People of Justice
“Ralph Waldo Emerson says, ‘Good-nature is plentiful, but we want justice with a heart of steel, to flight down the proud.’ If people are merely good-natured, then those are arrogant and highhanded will have free rain to carry on as they please. Only those who fight with hearts of steel are people of justice.”
