Oops! Wrong emphasis

…we so often confuse bustle for business, and plant for power, and perspiration for inspiration. What an embarrassment it would be to you if you had a pair of hands that always tried to demonstrate how busy they were! Do you expect your fingers to tell you each morning what their program is for the day, and then demonstrate their enthusiasm by a vigorous show of uncontrolled activity? Do you think you would be succesful in playing the piano on that basis? I would not like to ask a barber who had hands like that to shave me!— The Saving Life of Christ, page 64
