Couldn't I for once have you and the work at the same time?

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.

One destructive mind-set that must be altered in our society is the thought that work is a curse. Some people advocate that if you are truly blessed you don't need to work hard. Because as they say —the race is not to the swift", I even had statements like —a day of favour is better than a thousand years of labour—. To make things worse, this type of teachings are actually coming from our pulpits. We call ourselves Protestants, but we have totally departed from the teachings of the early Protestants. Martin Luther, John Wesley and John Calvin would turn in their graves, if they hear the kind of teachings we are now feeding the people of God with.

There is no competition in work. Many a man wants glory but fails to work.

The work is plentiful but the labours are few.

Do all the work you can while you still have strength.

If you want it, work for it.

Many a man wants glory but fails to work.

There is no competition in work. Whoever loves to labour does so as grace of life.

Do all the work you can, while there is grace of strength.

Those who work, knows the strength of labour.

Whoever works knows the grace of labour of life.
