'Whatever post of honor or influence we may be placed in, we should show that, in it, we are solicitous for the good of the public, so that the world may be better for our living in it, and that, when we are gone, it may be said of us, as it was so nobly said of David (Acts 13:6), that we "served our generation by the will of God."'
Jonathan Edwards in Matt Perman, What's Best Next, p.303.
