Precept & Practice – MARCH 7 – Perpetual Becoming

He who has no vision of eternity will never get a true hold of time. 

Carlyle

The interest of our life is intensified tenfold when we realise that it is a perpetual Becoming. To-day carries a greater To-morrow.

J. Brierley

The whole universe is in a constant state of becoming. It is never finished. Look where you will, you will find nothing but growth, growth, growth.

P. Braun

From the Introduction to Precept and Practice

The kindly welcome given to my other little books, ‘Being and Doing’ and ‘Character and Conduct,’ must be my excuse for adding another collection of extracts to the number now in circulation.

The quotations are gathered from the books of many earnest thinkers, and deal with Life in all its length and breadth, with ourselves, our characters, our plain unvarnished faults and weaknesses, our often untoward circumstances, and with all that drags us down;-  with our purposes, our religion, our love and friendships, and with all that uplifts us;-  with our relation to others, our influence and responsibilities, and finally with those stages of our journey which bring us to the Road’s Last Turn and to the Silent Land.
