Up until today evil has lured goodness into evil, but goodness has not been able to lure evil into goodness. This may be the reason why up to today Christianity has not been able to boldly fulfill the Will of God.

Sun Myung Moon

In matters of goodness, never expect any compliment or appreciation; just do your goodness and disappear!
