Quote of the Day

This one comes from Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), possibly the most famous clergyman in America in the mid-nineteenth century, and only one of several prominent Beechers during that period (Harriet Beecher Stowe was his sister). I think he's right on with this statement:

"It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is
healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than
he can bear. Worry is the rust upon the blade. It is
not the revolution which destroys the machinery
but the friction. Fear secretes acids; but love and
trust are sweet juices."
