Instead, we love one another, serve one another, help one another, and in so doing we see how God has equipped us to do so.” ― Russell Moore, Adopted For Life: The Priority Of Adoption For Christian Families And Churches

“Work is the best discipline.” Immanuel Kant, quoted in Will Durant’s Story of Civilization
