Contributed by Sermon Central on Feb 8, 2006 (message contributor)
When I had youth I had no money; now I have the money I have no time; and when I get the time, if I ever do, I shall have no health to enjoy life. I suppose it’s the discipline I need; but it’s rather hard to love the things I do, and see them go by because duty chains me to my galley. If I ever come into port with all sails set, that will be my reward perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888), U.S. author. As quoted in Louisa May, ch. 17, by Martha Saxton (1977).
