"We shall have peace! We shall have peace, when you answer for the burning of the Westfold and the women and children who lie dead there! We shall have peace, when the lives of the soldiers whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the gates of the Hornburg are avenged! When you swing from a gibbet for the sport of your own crows---THEN we shall have peace!" (King Théoden to Saruman after the fall of Isengard)  Read

^That’s similar to the Irish proverb, ‘Mind the pence and the pounds will look after themselves.’

Good advice, however it’s worded.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

“There is no direct evidence, so how can you ask me to believe in God when there is absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that’s out there that we haven’t discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don’t know any better.” (Jodie Foster)  Read
