Quotes about Shortcuts

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty (Proverbs 21:5).

The path of least resistance never gets us where we want to go. Shortcuts always end up being cul-de-sacs. The key to spiritual growth is the willingness to go out of your way for God. You will find God in uncomfortable places at inconvenient times. But if you go out of your way for God, God will go out of His way for you. Crash the party!

Short cuts make long delays.

The only trouble is that in the spiritual life there are no tricks and no shortcuts. Those who imagine that they can discover spiritual gimmicks and put them to work for themselves usually ignore God's will and his grace.

Let us draw a lesson from nature, which always works by short ways. When the fruit is ripe, it falls.
