AA Big Book Quote 12/26
Our real purpose is to fit ourselves to be of maximum
service to God and the people about us. It is seldom
wise to approach an individual, who still smarts from
our injustice to him, and announce that we have gone
religious. In the prize ring, this would be called leading
with the chin. Why lay ourselves open to being
branded fanatics or religious bores? We may kill a future
opportunity to carry a beneficial message. But
our man is sure to be impressed with a sincere desire to
set right the wrong. He is going to be more interested
in a demonstration of good will than in our talk of spiritual
discoveries.
