A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

On doing

If we cannot do the good things that we desire, in that exquisite manner that we would, we must content ourselves with the mean; and in things which are good, and to be done, it is the safest course to satisfy ourselves in the less, lest in venturing to do the more, which cannot be, we grow to the extremity, and so fail or offend in our action. [William Perkins]
