“Remember, it is not hasty reading—but serious meditating upon holy and heavenly
truths, that make them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the bee’s
touching of the flower, which gathers honey—but her abiding for a time upon the 
flower, which draws out the sweet. It is not he who reads most—but he who meditates
most, who will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.”
