Quote by Suzanne Woods Fisher

We fail in the work of grace and love when there is too much of us and not enough of God.

We fail in the work of grace and love when there is too much

Summary

This quote suggests that our efforts to extend grace and love are impeded when our own self-centeredness and ego overshadow our connection with a higher power or spirituality. It implies that humility and surrender to a greater force are crucial for genuinely embodying grace and love, as they enable us to shift the focus away from ourselves and toward others. The quote serves as a reminder that true acts of grace and love require a balance where our actions are guided by a higher power rather than dominated by our own desires and limitations.

Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate,no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament.It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.
