   "Do we forgive our neighbors their trespasses? God also forgives us in His   
   mercy. Do we refuse to forgive? God, too, will refuse to forgive us. As we   
   treat our neighbors, so also does God treat us. The forgiveness, then, of   
   your sins or unforgiveness, and hence also your salvation or destruction,   
   depend on you yourself, man. For without forgiveness of sins there is no   
   salvation. You can see for yourself how terrible it is."   
      
   St. Tikhon of Zadonsk.   
      
   "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a   
   defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with   
   meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as   
   evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed."   
      
   1 Peter 3:15-16   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
