It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
