hands feelings excess
The victims of ennui paralyze all the grosser feelings by excess, and torpify all the finer by disuse and inactivity.

But, alas! such beings can scarcely be said to die, for they have never truly lived. Charles Caleb Colton

If I dropped a tear upon your hand, may it wither it up! If I spoke a gentle word in your hearing, may it deafen you! If I touched you with my lips, may the touch be poison to you!

practice judging use
It is curious that we pay statesmen for what they say, not for what they do; and judge of them from what they do, not from what they say. Hence they have one code of maxims for profession and another for practice, and make up their consciences as the Neapolitans do their beds, with one set of furniture for show and another for use.
practice breathing bridges
Breathing is important in the practice of meditation because it is the faculty in us that is simultaneously voluntary and involuntary.

practice justice forever
God's justice stands forever against the sinner in utter severity. The vague and tenuous hope that God is 'too kind' to punish the ungodly has become deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.

As responsible moral beings, we dare not so trifle with our eternal future. Aiden Wilson Tozer

hygiene space long
