My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.
Note
This line presents kindness as something that must take form in action when harm is visible. It leans toward an external standard. Though the wording is firm, it can be read as a quiet call to humane responsibility rather than blame. Because it is brief, its meaning can widen toward courage, compassion, and moral attention.
