About This Quote

A foe to God was never true friend to man. There is a clear distinction between those who wish to harm and those who wish to help. The one is a foe and the other is a friend. Those who maintain that religion and morality are somehow in opposition to each other, that religion and morality must be separated, fall into this error. A true friend must be a friend of God, not of man.
