There are some who do not learn, and who do not improve as fast as they might, because their eyes and their hearts are not upon god; they do not reflect neither do they have that knowledge which they might have; they miss a good deal which they might receive. we have got to obtain knowledge before we obtain permanent happiness; we have got to be wide awake in the things of god.

There Are Some Who Do Not Learn,

Lorenzo Snow
There are some who do not learn, and who do not improve as fast as they might, because their eyes and their hearts are not upon god; they do not reflect neither do they have that knowledge which they might have; they miss a good deal which they might receive. we have got to obtain knowledge before we obtain permanent happiness; we have got to be wide awake in the things of god.

More From Lorenzo Snow

My soul is not asleep. it is awake, wide awake. it neither sleeps nor dreams, but watches, its eyes wide open far-off things, and listens at the shores of the great silence.
Dream Sleep Eye
Has my heart gone to sleep? have the beehives of my dreams stopped working, the waterwheel of the mind run dry, scoops turning empty, only shadow inside? no, my heart is not asleep. it is awake, wide awake. not asleep, not dreaming— its eyes are opened wide watching distant signals, listening on the rim of vast silence
Running Dream Heart
A lot of people say there is no happiness in this life, and certainly there's no permanent happiness. but self-sufficiency creates happiness. happiness is a state of bliss. just because you're satisfied one moment - saying yes, it's a good meal, makes me happy - well, that's not going to necessarily be true the next hour. life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. time is your soul mate. children are happy. but they haven't really experienced ups and downs yet. i'm not exactly sure what happiness even means. i don't know if i personally could define it.

It is possible for two people who have wide differences of preference and opinion, of habits, of teaching, of training, of background and belief to enjoy the company of each other in many ways. indeed, a diversity of friendships is one of life's real enrichments. to learn of the goodness of those who are unlike-their worth, their sincerity, their good hearts, their good minds, their good company-is rich and rewarding. it is wonderful to have a wide range of choice friends who can be counted on, friends who can be enjoyed and loved and trusted. such is the meaning of friendship.

Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. but this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason.

Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!
