God takes men’s hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, when they have not power to fulfill it; but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.

Richard Baxter

Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed.

Ecclesiastes 8:1
The New King James Version

I am.
Sincerely yours, G. K. Chesterton
