Wayne Dyer

Creation comes before distribution - or there will be nothing to distribute. The need of the creator comes before the need of any possible beneficiary. Yet we are taught to admire the second-hander who dispenses gifts he has not produced above the man who made the gifts possible. We praise an act of charity. We shrug at an act of achievement.

The sorest afflictions never appear intolerable, but when we see them in the wrong light when we see them in the hand of God, who dispenses them when we know that it is our loving Father who abases and distresses us our sufferings will lose their bitterness and become even a matter of consolation.
Brother Lawrence

Then might ye see Cowls, hoods, and habits with their wearers tost And flutter'd into rags then reliques, beads, Indulgences, dispenses, pardons, bulls, The sport of winds all these upwhirl'd aloft Fly to the rearward of the world far off Into a limbo large and broad, since called The paradise of fools.
John Milton
