He Man Quotes - Page 37

• In the morning was again distressed as soon as I waked, hearing much talk about the world and the things of it. I perceived the men were in some measure afraid of me; and I discoursed something about sanctifying the sabbath, if possible to solemnize their minds: but when they were at a little distance, they again talked freely about secular affairs. Oh, I thought what a hell it would be, to live with such men to eternity!

• Oh, father's gone to market-town, he was up before the day,
  And Jamie's after robins, and the man is making hay,
  And whistling down the hollow goes the boy that minds the mill,
  While mother from the kitchen door is calling with a will,
  "Polly!-Polly!-
  The cows are in the corn!
  Oh, where's Polly?"

• The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.
