It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
John Henry Newman
God has created me to do Him some definite service He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another, I have my mission ... He has not created me for naught ... If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
John Henry Newman
Time hath a taming hand.
John Henry Newman
