Fire of Devotion

by Nicholas Weeks
"It is of utmost importance to season the passions of the young with
devotion, which seldom dies in the mind that has received an early
tincture of it. Though it may seem extinguished for a while by the cares
of the world, the heats of youth, or the allurements of vice, it
generally breaks out and discovers itself again as soon as discretion,
consideration, age, or misfortune have brought the man to himself. The
fire may be covered and overlaid but cannot be entirely quenched and
smothered." Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
