God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under His laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to His purpose.

No one wearies of benefits received.

The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly, And be patience with those who don't.

Why should anyone be afraid of change? What can take place without it? What can be more pleasing or more suitable to universal nature? Can you take your bath without the firewood undergoing a change?

Nature set a limit on sleep - as it did on eating and drinking. And youre over the limit. But not of working. There youre still below your quota. You dont love yourself enough.
