If a statue is placed in some niche and could speak and was asked, "Why are you in the niche?"
The statue would say,"Because my master has put me here."
It is said to the statue, "Why don't you move?"
"Because my master wishes me to be immovable."
"Won't you like to have some movement so that you can be closer to him?"
"No, for where I am is where my master has placed me. And from where I am is the chief objective f my life."
"Don't you want anything else?"
"No, I am where my master has put me. And his supreme will is the glory of my being."
====== Francis De Sales (1597) ======
