“Sow a thought, and reap a desire; sow a desire, and reap an act; sow an act, and reap a character; sow a character, and reap a destiny.”
Christian W. Ruth, The Second Crisis in Christian Experience

“A pastor’s job is to equip God’s people to do God’s work until they resemble God’s son.
- David Wentz, Pastoring: The Nuts and Bolts”

Charles William Eliot
“I saw that an humble man, with the blessing of the Lord, might live on a little, and that where the heart was set on greatness, success in business did not satisfy the craving; but that commonly with an increase of wealth the desire of wealth increased.

Charles William Eliot, The Complete Harvard Classics - ALL 71 Volumes: The Five Foot Shelf & The Shelf of Fiction: The Famous Anthology of the Greatest Works of World Literature
