Timothy Keller Quotes
[Look At] The Chair You Are Lounging In. . . . Could You Have Made It For Yourself? . . . How [would You] Get, Say, The Wood? Go And Fell A Tree? But Only After First Making The Tools For That, And Putting Together Some Kind Of Vehicle To Haul The Wood, And Constructing A Mill To Do The Lumber And Roads To Drive On From Place To Place? In Short, A Lifetime Or Two To Make One Chair! . . . If We . . . Worked Not Forty But One-hundred-forty Hours Per Week We Couldn't Make Ourselves From Scratch Even A Fraction Of All The Goods And Services That We Call Our Own. [Our] Paycheck Turns Out To Buy Us The Use Of Far More Than We Could Possibly Make For Ourselves In The Time It Takes Us To Earn The Check. . . . Work . . . Yields Far More In Return Upon Our Efforts Than Our Particular Jobs Put In. . . .
