"Someone asked the American historian Charles A. Beard if he could summarize the lessons of history in a brief book. He said he could do it in four sentences: '(1) Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power; (2) The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small; (3) the bee fertilizes the flower it robs; (4) When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.'" - Warren W. Wiersbe in On Being a Servant
