Forcefulness in spiritual things is like a wall.

Force yourself in your spiritual duties... for forcefulness in spiritual things is like a solid wall that does not let the river run into the garden and destroy what the gardener labored to grow. If we are negligent the river comes in and destroys everything! The more we compel ourselves, the more we shall gain.The more one works, the more he is paid. - Elder Ephraim of Arizona
