A Dull Jade

"He that comes to Christ cannot, it is true, always get on as fast as he would. Poor coming soul, thou art like the man that would ride full gallop whose horse will hardly trot. Now the desire of his mind is not to be judged of by the slow pace of the dull jade he rides on, but by the hitching and kicking and spurring as he sits on his back. Thy flesh is like this dull jade, it will not gallop after Christ, it will be backward though thy soul and heaven lie at stake." -John Bunyan-

Sayers on Consumption and Production

"A society in which consumption has to be artificially stimulated in order to keep
production going is a society founded on trash and waste, and such a society is a house
built upon sand."  --Dorothy Sayers in her excellent article "Why Work"
