The heart is wiser than the intellect. - Josiah Gilbert Holland

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows so fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly endures.

So I take my life as I find it, as a life full of grand advantages that are linked indissolubly to my noblest happiness and my everlasting safety. I believe that Infinite Love ordained it, and that, if I bow willingly, tractably, and gladly to its discipline, my Father will take care of it.

A life in any sphere that is the expression and outflow of an honest, earnest, loving heart, taking counsel only of God and itself, will be certain to be a life of beneficence in the best possible direction.
