"For, let us not make a mistake, all sin, even all crime, is accomplished in thought. Word and act are but the fruit of which the received and permitted thought is the seed. The battle of life for each of us lies in the continual repetition of what seems a most trifling act - the rejection of certain thoughts when they come. This is how we shall keep our soul as a fortress." ~ Charlotte Mason (Ourselves, Book II, Ch. 18)
