NO man is born into the world, whose work 

Is not born with him; there is always work, 

And tools to work withal, for those who will;

NO man who, being a Christian, desires the kingdom of God, can justly neglect giving his energy to the bettering of the social, physical, and educational condition of the poor, the diseased, and the criminal classes.

Man’s powers of conquering temptation, of despising danger, of being true to principle, have never been even indicated, save in Christ.

… ONE conviction I have gained from the experience of the last years – life is not jest and amusement;  life is not even enjoyment…   life is hard labour. 

DON’T waste life in doubts and fears;  spend yourself on the work before you

OUR duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers.

EVERY joy is gain, and gain is gain, however small.

The reason why men fail is, in five cases out of six, not through want of influence or brains, or opportunity, or good guidance, but because they are slack;

OF all work producing results, nine-tenths must be drudgery.   There is no work, from the highest to the lowest, which can be done well by any man who is unwilling to make that sacrifice. 

Every time we pray, or study, or work, we are receiving to give away.
