Actions Quote by Etta Shiber
““Kitty's remark stuck in my mind. It was true, I thought, that we had experienced miraculous luck again and again. Was it all luck or was it the guiding hand of Providence? And could we always count on such good chance? Or were we perhaps being led deeper and deeper into actions from whose consequences there could be no escape, by a capricious fate which would turn against us only when we were completely enmeshed in its toils? I remembered the verse from Job: 'Great things He does which we cannot comprehend.””
