Real servants don't try to use God for their purposes. They let God use them for His purposes.
William JamesAny object not interesting in itself may become interesting through becoming associated with an object in which an interest already exists.
William JamesThe science of logic never made a man reason rightly, and the science of ethics never made a man behave rightly. The most such sciences can do is to help us to catch ourselves up and check ourselves, if we start to reason or to behave wrongly; and to criticise ourselves more articulately after we have made mistakes.
William James
