“The expectations of life depend upon diligence the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools. ”

“Our future tomorrow...depends on our diligent work today.”

“Oftentimes people expect Christians to be perfect but the reality is...Spiritual perfection is imperfection! God then does His best work.”

“God has made us so that we must be mutually dependent. We may ignore our own dependence, or refuse to acknowledge that others depend upon us in more respects than the payment of weekly wages; but the thing must be, nevertheless. Neither you nor any other master can help yourselves. The most proudly independent man depends on those around him for their insensible influence on his character - his life.”

“Work as if everything depended upon work and pray as if everything depended upon prayer.”

“Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it.”
