John Ruskin, Christine Roth (2004). “The Two Paths”, p.88, Parlor Press LLC

Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the time, and not be discouraged at the rests.

How patiently God works to teach us! How long He waits for us to learn the lesson!

John Ruskin

John Ruskin

Patience, Perseverance, Talking
