“The Word says, ‘Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world’ (1 John 2:15). Jesus warned, ‘Beware of covetousness: for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses’ (Luke 12:15). Things—our possessions—can tie us down to this world. While heaven and hell prepare for war, we go shopping. Eternal values are at stake!

“In the end, science as we know it has two basic types of practitioners. One is the educated man who still has a controlled sense of wonder before the universal mystery, whether it hides in a snail's eye or within the light that impinges on that delicate organ.

“Was it possible that a bustling display of energy might only be a camouflage for a spiritual vacuum? The thought so impressed me that I mentioned it next day to the French purser, at whose table I was sitting. He nodded his agreement. "Stevenson is right," he said. "Indeed, if you will pardon my saying so, the idea applies particularly to you Americans. A lot of your countrymen keep so busy getting things done that they reach the end of their lives without ever having lived at all."” IfsSaidIdeasEndsDoneMightSpiritualNextEnergySittingTablesBusyAgreementDisplayImpressedNext DayPardonVacuumsThings DoneCountrymenGetting Things DoneCamouflage Author:Arthur Gordon Webster
“A proper autobiography is a death-bed confession. A true man finds so much work to do that he has no time to contemplate his yesterdays; for to-day and to-morrow are here, with their impatient tasks. The world is so busy, too, that it cannot afford to study any man's unfinished work; for the end may prove it a failure, and the world needs masterpieces.” MenWorldNeedsMayEndsStudyBedProveTasksBusyYesterdayContemplatingConfessionAutobiographyMasterpieceImpatientProve ItUnfinishedMorrowTrue ManDeath BedUnfinished Work Book:The Promised Land Source: The Promised Land
