Joy In One's Work Is The Consummate

To Say 'well Done'to Any Bit Of Good Work Is To Take Hold Of The Powers Which Have Made The Effort And Strengthen Them Beyond Our Knowledge.

It Is Almost As Presumptuous To Think You Can Do Nothing As To Think You Can Do Everything.

Only The Soul That With An Overwhelming Impulse And A Perfect Trust Gives Itself Up Forever To The Life Of Other Men, Finds The Delight And Peace Which Such Complete Self-surrender Has To Give.

It Is While You Are Patiently Toiling At The Little Tasks Of Life That The Meaning And Shape Of The Great Whole Of Life Dawn On You.

It Is God's World Still. It Has Been Given To Man Not Absolutely, But In Trust, That Man May Work Out In It The Will Of God; Given-may We Not Say?-just As A Father Gives A Child A Corner Of His Great Garden, And Says, "there, That Is Yours; Now Cultivate It."
