'Waiting is harder than working

Restlessness is not beautiful. Peace is a high attainment. Thus quietness indicates a rich Christian culture.

It is not easily reached.

It is easier to be in the midst of the active duties and struggles of spiritual life — than it is to be compelled to wait and be still.

Waiting is harder than working . For many people it requires more strength to work quietly, than it does to bluster.

It is only the great engine that runs noiselessly; the little machine fusses and splutters.

Quietness in a man or a woman is a mark of strength.

"In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." Isaiah 30:15
