Progress is our aim . . .

"Day by day, we try to move a little toward God's perfection. So we need not to be consumed by maudlin guilt for failure to achieve His likeness and image by Thursday next. Progress is our aim, and His perfection is the beacon, light-years away, that draws on us."

As Bill sees It, p. 15

Final Thought:

"For myself, I have come to set a high value on the people who have criticized me, whether they have seemed reasonable critics or unreasonable ones. Both have often restrained me from doing much worse than I actually have done. The unreasonable ones have taught, I hope, a little patience. But the reasonable ones have always taught me many a valuable lesson."
