“Poor dog! I've a strange feeling about the dumb things as if they wanted to speak, and it was a trouble to 'em because they couldn't. I can't help being sorry for the dogs always, though perhaps there's no need. But they may well have more in them than they know how to make us understand, for we can't say half what we feel, with all our words.” IfsKnowsNeedsFeelsWellsMayI CanHelpingFeelingsWantedSpeakPoorHalfKnow HowTroubleDogStrangeSorryDumbEmsOur WordsBeing SorryDumb Things Book:Complete Works Of George Eliot Source: Complete Works Of George Eliot
“If He put tribulation before you and said He will give you patience by giving you a little trouble along the way, wouldn't you take a little trouble? You say, 'Lord, I want all my highways paved.' the Lord says, 'I'm sorry, I can't accommodate you. I'm going to let you run over some bumps occasionally, so you will have patience.' You do not like the bumps, but you like the patience, and if you want the patience, you will have to take the bumps. And what is patience but experience?” IfsWayWantGivingLittlesSaidI CanRunningLordTroubleSorryI'm SorryHighwaysBumpsAccommodateTribulationHaving Patience Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
