"We can embrace all without any exceptions. Even the worst sinner will be loved by us because we ourselves were once sinners. Today's sinner is tomorrow's saint. We will never criticize a sinner if we realize that we were once in the same boat. Instead, we can give the so-called sinner a helping hand. If a baby dirties its diaper, you take it out of the crib, clean it and put on a new diaper. You don't criticize it. If you wish to criticize it you have no business being with that child."

"We are all brothers—and yet every morning a brother or a sister must empty the bedroom slops for me. 

We are all brothers, but every morning I must have a cigar, a sweetmeat, an ice, and such things, which my brothers and sisters have been wasting their health in manufacturing, and I enjoy these things and demand them. 

We are all brothers, yet I live by working in a bank, or mercantile house, or shop at making all goods dearer for my brothers. 

We are all brothers, but I live on a salary paid me for prosecuting, judging, and condemning the thief or the prostitute whose existence the whole tenor of my life tends to bring about, and who I know ought not to be punished but reformed. 

We are all brothers, but I live on the salary I gain by collecting taxes from needy laborers to be spent on the luxuries of the rich and idle. 

We are all brothers, but I take a stipend for preaching a false Christian religion, which I do not myself believe in, and which only serves to hinder men from understanding true Christianity. I take a stipend as a priest or bishop for deceiving men in the matter of the greatest importance to them. 

We are all brothers, but I will not give the poor the benefit of my educational, medical, or literary labors except for money. 

We are all brothers, yet I take a salary for being ready to commit murder, for teaching men to murder, or making firearms, gunpowder, or fortifications."

- Leo Tolstoy in "The Kingdom of God is Within You".

Anything might alter your fortune except the blaming part.”
