God has hidden every precious thing in such a way that it is a reward to the diligent, a prize to the earnest, but a disappointment to the slothful soul. All nature is arrayed against the lounger and the idler. The nut is hidden in its thorny case; the pearl is buried beneath the ocean waves; the gold is imprisoned in the rocky bosom of the mountains; the gem is found only after you crush the rock which encloses it; the very soil gives its harvest as a reward to the laboring farmer. So truth and God must be earnestly sought.

By the way, this recipe originally came from the net. It won a Betty
Crocker cookoff (or something) for best recipe. The recipe as given
contained 1 3/4 cups of flour but I discovered that the cookies came out
too flat and crunchy so I upped it to 2 1/4 (the standard cookie amount)
and I've had nothing but praise for them ever since.
