"When Abraham Lincoln was criticized for being too courteous to his enemies and reminded that it was his duty to destroy them, he gave the great answer, "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?" Even if a man is utterly mistaken, we must never regard him as an enemy to be destroyed but as a strayed freiend to be recovered by love."
(William Barclay, The Gospel of Luke, commenting on Luke 9:49-56, 130-131)
