One dram of grace is more worth than a talent of gifts: gifts may make us rich towards men, but it is grace that makes us rich towards God. Our gifts profit others, but grace profits ourselves; that whereby I profit another is good, but that by which I am profited myself is better.
Matthew Mead — Matthew Mead, The Almost Christian Discovered, on gifts versus grace (Step II); public-domain reprint text via Digital Puritan.
