Phillips Brooks: Routine is a terrible master, but she is a servant whom we can hardly do…

Routine is a terrible master, but she is a servant whom we can hardly do without. Routine as a law is deadly. Routine as a resource in the temporary exhaustion of impulse and suggestion is often our salvation.

In today’s wordsRoutine is a terrible master but a servant we can hardly do without. As a law it's deadly. As a resource when inspiration runs out, it's often our salvation.
