We live in deeds, not years: in thoughts, not breaths:
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
--Philip James Bailey.
Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The only
sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man's
limitations it is all over with him.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson.
But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so
continueth, being not a hearer that forgeteth but a doer that
worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
--James 1. 25.
Lord God, help me to break away from habits that fasten me in the ruts
of life. Draw me out to thy broad way, where there are no limits to
thy wonderful works, that I may expand my life. Amen.
