The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.

Very good quote for those that understand going forward in all aspects of one's life. Like stepping stones, we rest for the time that is needed to take in what is there.Then it's time to move on to a higher level and absorb what is new and inspiring with each step. There should be no stopping as the capacity of the human mind is capable of learning and obtaining much..way beyond what most realize...good journey's to you.....

To me it means keep moving up, growing, learning and becoming better. To rest on the rung of the ladder is to stop moving.

One's religion is a stepping stone to true spirituality, and you shouldnt sit there and expect to go anywhere higher when youre sitting on the middle or lower rungs and not standing on the top rung. thats what i get out of it.
