“To be quick to listen means that we do not say the first thing or everything we think (slow to speak), even if we are right, even if we are preachers or evangelists. Nor do we give immediate voice or vent even to the strongest emotions that pulsate within our chests (slow to anger), no matter how strongly we feel them. If you don’t mind, take a moment and reread those last two sentences.”
― Zack Eswine, The Imperfect Pastor: Discovering Joy in Our Limitations through a Daily Apprenticeship with Jesus
