Halfway through the wood
Others may decieve you
You decide what's good
You decide alone
But no one is alone”

“At home you can never know what it is to be alone – absolutely alone, amidst thousands, as you can in a Chinese city, without one friend, one companion, everyone looking on you with curiosity, with contempt, with suspicion or with dislike. Thus to learn what it is to be despised and rejected of men – of those you wish to benefit, your motives not understood... and then to have the love of Jesus applied to your heart by the Holy Spirit... this is worth coming for.”

James Hudson Taylor (1832–1905) Missionary in China

As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as a known enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.”
