Failing Quote by Aldous Huxley
“Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it. If we fail to do our share, but rather choose to rely on self-will and self-direction, we shall not only get no help from the graces bestowed on us, we shall actually make it impossible for further graces to be given.”
About This Quote
Source Book: The Perennial Philosophy, Aldous Huxley, 1945
Grace is available when we cooperate; selfishness blocks further blessings.
In simple terms: Grace works if we cooperate, not if we rely only on ourselves.
Cooperate to receive grace.
