“Those who delve into the scriptural library … find that to understand requires more than casual reading or perusal—there must be concentrated study. … One who studies the scriptures every day accomplishes far more than one who devotes considerable time one day and then lets days go by before continuing.” ReadingStudyOne DayLibraryAccomplishScriptureContinuingCasual Author:Howard W.

“Who would have believed that the daughters of that mighty city would one day be wandering as servants and slaves on the shores of Egypt and Africa, or that Bethlehem would daily receive noble Romans, distinguished ladies, brought up in wealth and now reduced to beggary? I cannot help them all, but I grieve and weep with them, and am completely absorbed in the duties which charity imposes on me. I have put aside my commentary on Ezekiel and almost all study. For today we must translate the precepts of the Scriptures into deeds; instead of speaking saintly words, we must act them.” HelpingTodayWealthCitiesStudyDutyOne DayDaughterSlaveCharityDeedsNobleScriptureWanderServantGrievingShoreTranslateEgyptDistinguishedCommentaryBethlehemBeggaryEzekiel Author:St. Jerome

“One day in 1965 Rajiv wrote me from London, where he was studying, and informed me, 'You're always asking me about girls, whether I have a special girl, and so forth. Well, I've met a special girl.' And when Rajiv returned to India, I asked him, 'Do you still think about her in the same way?' And he said yes. But she couldn't get married until she was twenty-one, and until she was sure she'd like to live in India. Sonia is almost completely an Indian by now, even though she doesn't always wear saris.” ThinkingWayWellsSaidStillsGirlStudySpecialMetsOne DayMarriedIndiaTwentiesAskingLondonIndianTwenty OneSari Author:Indira Gandhi
“One day - I remember it was a Sabbath afternoon - I came to the synagogue with a book in my hand. I saw a commentary on the Bible by a certain Rabbi Moshe Dessauer, better known as Moses Mendelssohn. An elderly man came up to me - I was then maybe 10 or 12. "What are you studying?" he said. "Dessauer's commentaries," I said. So he gave me a slap on my face.” MenSaidBookHandsRememberFacesCertainKnownStudySawsOne DayAfternoonElderlyMosesSlapCommentarySabbathRabbiSynagogueMendelssohn Author:Elie Wiesel
“It's odd. Though I've spent years working with and creating images, I feel most comfortable expressing myself through writing. I'd been in denial about this for many years. At school I was highly lauded as having the potential to write one day, but being a typically rebellious and misguided teenager I opted to study art. Ironically language has pervaded all the work I have done - from my first forays into an art practice many years ago to my work with typography and book design.” WritingArtBookDoneSchoolLanguageStudyDesignOne DayDenialTeenagerOddRebellious Author:Michael Salu
“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room. You enter its room with bravura, holding a chair at the thing and shouting, "Simba!” IfsStatesDoneGrowsWorkRoomsStudyGrowingProgressDoorsHard WorkDisciplineOne DayHarderChairsOver ItLionsTime ManagementMasterySelf ControlSelf DisciplineCagesShoutingSkipWork In ProgressMustangWorkload Author:Annie Dillard
