The Great Cure
Work and prayer are the infallible aids to self-education: pray and work, that is the golden precept that must be used as a warcry against all evil spirits. Work strengthens body and soul and keeps them youthful. But it must be regulated and directed to God by prayer; it must not fetter the immortal soul with the chains of slavery, but must be offered to God as a free sacrifice, that will find its reward not here below, but in heaven and in all eternity.
-Von Oer Bothmer.
