“There are many things the Spirit could do through us, for the healing and redeeming of the world, if it were not for our cowardice, slackness, fastidiousness, or self-centered concentration on our own jobs. Individual Christians cannot attain to their full stature till they throw in their hand with the saints and the angels: more, with the broken, the struggling, and the meek. But most of us are too prudent, too careful to do that.”

-Evelyn Underhill, The School of Charity, p.96
