“There is a virtuous fear, which is the effect of faith; and there is a vicious fear, which is the product of doubt. The former leads to hope, as relying on God, in whom we believe; the latter inclines to despair, as not relying on God, in whom we do not believe.

Tell me how a young man spends his evenings and I will tell you how he is likely to spend the latter part of his life.” MenYearsWholeYoungLife IsCoursesIndividualForceHoursProductsWasteConcernDeterminedConclusionObservationEveningYoung ManLatterLeisurePrincipalDividendsSuccess Or FailureFailure In LifeLeisure Time Author:B.
