One of the most wasteful wastes in the world is the waste of time, of opportunity, of creative effort, with indifference to learning, indifference to work—the don’t-care, drop-out, what’s-the-use attitude. And one of the steadying factors in life—one that could reduce restlessness, protest, and discontent-would be for all of us to use in more useful ways the best of our abilities, with some awareness that the Father of us all might somehow, sometime shake us and say (which he has, in more ways than we sometimes seem to be aware of): “I have given you life. Now you make the most of it!” – Richard L. Evans, “Conference Report,” October 1970, Afternoon Meeting, p.87
