For weeks after my last operation [for cancer]- frail and without energy, sleeping ten hours- I looked in my house at all the books I had not read and wept for my inability to read them. Or I looked at great books I had read too quickly in my avidity- telling myself I would return to them later. There is never a later, but for most of my life I have believed in later.
Donald Hall
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
Hosea 14:9
The Revised Standard Version
To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it.
J. Churton Collins
