\nMany people quench the Spirit by being down in the mouth rather than rejoicing,\nby planning rather than praying, by murmuring rather than giving thanks,\nand by worrying instead of trusting in him who is faithful.\n<\/p>\n
Cameron Townsend\nfounder of Wycliffe Bible Translators<\/p>\n
\nThank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that\nday which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and\nforced to do your best will breed in you a hundred virtues which the idle\nwill never know.\n<\/p>\n
Charles Kingsley<\/p>\n\n
