Elizabeth Goudge Quotes
Imagine God And Man Set Down Together To Play That Game Of Chess That We Call Life. The One Player Is A Master, The Other A Bungling Amateur, So The Outcome Of The Game Cannot Be In Question. The Amateur Has Free Will, He Does What He Pleases, For It Was He Who Chose To Set Up His Will Against That Of The Master In The First Place; He Throws The Whole Board Into Confusion Time And Again And By His Foolishness Delays The Orderly Ending Of It All For Countless Generations, But Every Stupid Move Of His Is Dealt With By A Masterly Counterstroke, And Slowly But Inexorably The Game Sweeps On To The Master's Victory. But, Mind You, The Game Could Not Move On At All Without The Full Complement Of Pieces; Kings, Queens, Bishops, Knights, Pawns; The Master Does Not Lose Sight Of A Single One Of Them.
