Previously, I wanted everything to go my way, but seeing that nothing was done as I wanted, I began to wish that everything be done as it is done; so it was that everything started to be done as I wanted. ~ St. Joseph of Optina
God helps those who work, not those who are idle. No one helps an inactive person, but one who joins in the labour. The good God will bring… work to perfection. ~ St. John Chrysostom
