Author of quotes: Ivan The Terrible

Would you do this to your children: would you give them a scorpion instead of an egg and a stone instead of a fish? If you are evil, then why do you know how to do good to your children, and if you are considered kind and warm-hearted, then why don’t you do the same good to our children as to your own?

Quote Explanation: Such an unusual appeal to conscience was preserved in Ivan the Terrible’s first letter to Andrei Kurbsky, his disgraced confidant. He fled from the wrath of the king to Lithuania, but for many years he carried on polemical correspondence with the ruler.
