Fences make good neighbors. Every country gets the government they deserve. If you are lying flat on your face you cannot get knocked down. Thus, if you are humble before God and on your face before God, you will not get knocked on your face. The earth is all the hell the Christian will ever experience and all the heaven the unsaved will ever know.
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there and do nothing. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just. Meaning you and your time. A sponge will only produce when squeezed.
