Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.

Long may it remain so.

If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all; and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it.
