Desire Outruns Faculty Anal Causes Weariness
Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.


The result would be something monstrous if their energies and abilities grew as fast as their aspirations or their ambitions. As the eye carries the mind in the flash of a moment over a space of country which it would require hours to traverse in the body, so the hot speed of human Desire outruns our slow and pausing faculties. And this a great cause of fatigue; we cannot keep up with ourselves; one part of our nature lags behind another. Or, no sooner is the goal which we had thought a fixed one reached, than another starts up in the new distance, and Desire is still goading us on. refusing us rest.

(E. Johnson, M. A.)
