Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,

Noah Webster

I know this is going to sound weird, but while reading the dictionary today,
I came upon the following quotes by Noah Webster that are worth sharing. (I
am actually reading the 100 pages of prefatory remarks before the dictionary
starts...)

"An immense effect may be produced by small powers wisely and
steadily directed." Noah Webster 1821

"To exterminate our popular vices is a work of far more importance
to the character and happiness of our citizens, than any other improvements
in our system of education." Noah Webster.
