John Witherspoon

“There is a case for cursing the darkness. But it is better to light a candle, and better still to light many.” - Public Discourse

“I don’t mean that magnanimity is unique to men or that women are not also called to this trait. After all, Witherspoon calls it a Christian virtue. But I do think magnanimity is a virtue particularly befitting to manhood, and that manhood bereft of magnanimity is especially lamentable.” - DeYoung
