A Quote by Gabriella Wilde

But the truth is, I am not really very brave; I am not really very strong; and I am not doing anything spectacular. I am simply doing what God has called me to do as a person who follows Him.

Who are the governing bodies to say what is a good and a bad behaviour? I think that's unacceptable, even from an ethical point of view.
