Wisdom for Young People

"Young man, do not run up bills which your riper years will find it hard to pay; do not eat today forbidden morsels, which may breed you sorrow long after their sweetness has been forgotten" (C.H. Spurgeon, "Flowers From a Puritan's Garden," p. 30).

Spurgeon is warning against compromising the permanent on the altar of the temporary. Wise words indeed!
