'His moral perfection lies in the unique balance of opposite virtues. It is the presence in one soul of seemingly contradictory qualities that gives his character its completeness; it is their perfect harmony that lends to His whole life that poise which is the perfection of strength. Strength of mind and will are so rarely wedded to gentleness; gentleness and sympathy do not always succeed in preserving the highest standards of righteousness and purity; and again righteousness and purity so rarely keep their tolerance and goodwill, especially toward the unrighteous and the impure. It seems enough if we could excel in one virtue or the other: Jesus reveals the summit of each one in symetrical character.'
REO White in Steve DeWitt, Eyes Wide Open, p.105.
