Quote

This is from david o. Kckay - I love it!

What rogrs can there be for a man unconcious of his fault? Such a man has lot the fundamental element of growth, which is the realization that there is something bigger, better, and more desirable than the condition in which he now finds himself. In the soil of self-satisfaction, true growth has poor nourishment. Its roots find great succor in discontent.

Hey, Ward... love this quote too - thanks for sharing

I was trying to figure out what the hell "rogrs" were, so I dug a little deeper, wanting to capture the meaning

if I may, I believe this quote reads:

"What PROGRESS can there be for a man unconscious of his fault? Such a man has LOST the fundamental element of growth, which is the realization that there is something bigger, better, and more desirable than the condition in which he now finds himself. In the soil of self-satisfaction, true growth has poor nourishment. Its roots find GREATER succor in discontent." (caps added)

I was born with a typo malfunction, too ;)
