Quote by Sir Winston Churchill

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years

Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting efforts required for construction and destruction. Building something meaningful or significant often takes a long time, dedication, and hard work over several years. On the other hand, destroying or ruining something can happen swiftly and thoughtlessly in a single day, without the same level of consideration or effort. It serves as a reminder of the imbalance between creation and destruction, emphasizing the value of patience and mindfulness in building while cautioning against hasty and careless actions that can lead to irreversible consequences.

In 1883 while I was working at the London Hospital I chanced to turn in to one of D. L. Moody's great tent meetings in the slums of East London. I was amazed to see on the platform with him several men whose athletic prowess was world-famous. That was a credential to me that it was worth stopping to listen to what was going to be said. I still believe athletic success is an invaluable asset to a preacher. Christ, I am sure, wants football, baseball, and track-team men in an age when theological expositions, however deep and learned, when orthodoxy, conventionality, or even correct vestments and ritual, have so little attraction for the young men who will be leaders tomorrow.
