Good Stuff

Today I found this quote and I just couldn't get over how encouraging this could be to someone who needed to hear it.

"But if you are a poor creature-poisoned by a wretched upbringing in some house full of vulgar jealousies and senseless quarrels-saddled, by no choice of your own, with some loathsome sexual perversion-nagged day in and day out by and inferiority complex that makes you snap at your best friends-do not despair.  He knows all about it.  You are one of the poor whom He blessed.  He knows what a wretched machine you are trying to drive.  Keep on.  Do what you can.  One day (perhaps in a another world, but perhaps far sooner than that) He will fling it on the scrap-heap and give you a new one.  And then you may astonish us all-not least yourself; for you have learned your driving in a hard school.  (Some of the last will be first and some of the first will be last.)"
