There is a sort of duality in each of us, a discussion within our innermost thoughts. The nobler voice will be said by some of us - myself, for instance - to be the voice of God. Not literally, of course, but in source and spiritual vitality. Others of us will call it our better nature. But no matter what it be called, its presence is a firm reality. We cultivate our inner lives, and thereby raise the quality of all our living, by giving definite times to such discipline. And to the extent that we see the world more clearly and ourselves and our part on it more plainly, we gain wisdom and sureness of direction; and this, in turn, relieves the tension that the world imposes on us - much of which is due to vacillation and uncertainty - and brings us closer to serenity.

(A. Powell Davies, 1902 - 1957)
