Prodigal: I’m sweatin’ up a storm.

Me: I know it will be cooler soon enough.

This is from the book No Man Is An Island by Thomas Merton

Hence I do not find in myself the power to be happy merely by doing what I like. On the contrary, if I do nothing except what pleases my own fancy I will be miserable almost all the time. This would never be so if my will had not been created to use its own freedom in the love of others.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: Ecclesiastes 10:5 (KJV)
