Quote of the Day: William Penn

"Rightly may we say our unhappiness is of our own making, since we know what we shouldn't do, but still do it.

Disappointments that aren't a result of our own foolishness are a testing of our faith or a correction from heaven, and it is our own fault if these disappointments don't work for our good.

To complain about them does not help; indeed, to do so is only to grumble at our Creator. But to see the hand of God in our difficulties, with humble submission to his will, is the way to turn our water into wine and to induce the greatest love and thankfulness toward God in our hearts."


William Penn, Some Fruits of Solitude
