Dally No More

“There is something fascinating in grief; though we feel it hurts our peace, . . . we are apt to indulge it and to brood over sorrow till it gives a tincture to the whole frame of our spirits. . . . Dally no more with grief; try to cut short all recollections that feed the anguish of the mind.”

John Newton, in Grant Gordon, editor, Wise Counsel: John Newton’s Letters to John Ryland Jr. (Edinburgh, 2009), letter 40.
