“‘Hurry is not of the devil; hurry is the devil.’ For most of us, the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it…Jesus was often busy, but he was never hurried. Being busy is an outer condition; being hurried is a sickness of the soul. He observed a regular rhythm of withdrawal from activity, for solitude and prayer. He ruthlessly eliminated hurry from his life.” – Carl Jung
