We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

Beware of him that is slow to anger for when it is long coming it is the stronger when it comes and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

So many people suffer from abuse and suffer alone.

No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.

To the press alone chequered as it is with abuses the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.

You'd think that in this age especially in the 21st century - especially with all the technology and all the discoveries that we've made - that we would figure out how to tackle abuse.
