“I could scarcely think that he who leads men to virtue in this life can be damned in the next.”
-Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786)
I read this quote in a letter from Moses Mendelssohn to Johann Caspar Lavater. In it he responds to the challenge that was posed to him of refuting the claims of the book the latter translated and if unable to convert to Christianity. Its very interesting to read his response.
