“At all times and under all circumstances, overcome evil with good. Know thyself, and God will supply the wisdom and the occasion for a victory over evil. Clad in the panoply of Love, human hatred cannot reach you. The cement of higher humanity will unite all interests in the one divinity.”

Mrs. Eddy detected that Lydia Hall was meeting every caller at the door with a congenial smile. She rebuked her saying, “Do not smile at anyone when you meet them at the door — it only gives error a chance to use you; you must be more dignified. If we smile with error, error thinks it certainly can use us as an avenue; but meet all with dignity and then all is well.”

— from Collectanea, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 89
