Alexander Maclaren Quote
“  ​ The man that wrapped up his talent in the napkin and said, "Lo, there them hast that is thine," was too sanguine. There was never an unused talent rolled up in a handkerchief yet, but when it was taken out and put into the scales, it was lighter than when it was committed to the keeping of the earth.”
