“It would be well if in the freshness of the morning hour we were to arrange our engagements, as far as possible, with a little forethought and discretion, and make up the plan of our day until bedtime. . . . This is consideration beforehand – thoughtfulness; but it is not the thoughtfulness which the Lord forbids, for it lies within the horizon of to-day. What he
does forbid, and what unhappily it is very hard to check in oneself, is the previous contemplation and adjustment of difficulties which stretch into that unknown tomorrow, which belong not to the cycle of the present day.”
SEWELL
“Where persons are heavily engaged there is a certain feverish fidgetiness to take up several tasks at once, which greatly interferes with quietness and thoughtfulness of mind, and so with progress. Let the aim of such persons be to do the thing well rather than to get through it fast.”
