“I cannot but take notice of the wonderful love of God to mankind, who, in order to encourage obedience to His laws, has annexed a present as well as a future reward to a good life; and has so interwoven our duty and our happiness together that, while we are discharging our obligations to the one, we are at the same time making the best provision for the other.” WellsTogetherLawOrderWonderfulMankindDutyRewardsObligationObedienceGod LoveGood LifeProvisionWonderful Love Author:William Melmoth
“Rules are what governs us as humans, but it was wonderful to meet a man who said "There are no rules. You gotta be what you gotta be and you gotta believe in it." I know that's a feeling I used to feel a lot at a younger age, and through the sense of responsibility and working with so many and taking on so many duties and actions, you lose if you don't stay on top of it. So that's what I love about this man, that there are no rules.” IfsKnowsMenFeelsBelieveHumansSaidFeelingsAgeActionUsedLosesResponsibilityWonderfulDutySense Of Responsibility Author:Kevin Drew

“We have come to think that duty should come first. I disagree. Duty should be a by-product. Writing, the creative effort, the use of the imagination, should come first – at least, for some part of every day of your life. It is a wonderful blessing if you use it. You will become happier, more enlightened, alive, impassioned, light-hearted and generous to everybody else. Even your health will improve. Colds will disappear and all the other ailments of discouragement and boredom.” IfsThinkingShouldWritingFirstsUseLightImaginationEffortCreativeAliveWonderfulDutyProductsBlessingDisappearGenerousBoredomEnlightenedDisagreeHeartedDiscouragementAilmentsImpassionedLight Hearted Book:If You Want to Write Source: If You Want to Write
