ARGHH! Those Goodreads Quotes drive me to distraction with their disrespect for knowledge. They just make the s**t up. Today it has a nice quote -“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” GR attributed to Plato - only there is no evidence that Plato ever said/wrote anything similar. A 19th century minister wrote something similar: “ “Be pitiful, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.” (as in full of pity not the modern sense) John Watson aka Ian McLaren Stop the B.S. by checking validated sources such as The Yale Book of Quotations.
