Steadiness Quotes - page 2

When the fight thickens the captain says, "Steady, boys;" and it is their steadiness which pulls the soldiers through. Fitful soldiers are rarely useful ones. That is our great need to-day, steady Christians - men and women you can count on. Many Christians are like intermittent springs. They flow to-day - to-morrow you cannot get a thimbleful of religious activity out of the dried channel of their lives. (Francis Wayland)
True "fudoshin" is not a rigid, immobile state of mind, but the condition of stability, which comes from the most rapid movement. In other words, like the steadiness of a spinning top, the state of perfect spiritual and physical stability arises from movement, which continues infinitely and is so infinitely rapid that it is imperceptible.
