Even where there is talent, culture, knowledge, if there is not earnestness, it does not go to the root of things.
James Freeman ClarkeIn the spirit of faith let us begin each day, and we shall be sure to " redeem the time " which it brings to us, by changing it into something definite and eternal. There is a deep meaning in this phrase of the apostle, to redeem time. We redeem time, and do not merely use it. We transform it into eternity by living it aright.
James Freeman ClarkeWe are either progressing or retrograding all the while; there is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.
