When I look for religion, I must look for something above me, and not something beneath Picture Quote #1

Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all; but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do Picture Quote #1
