Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.—­Newton.

Zeal, unless it be rightly guided, when it endeavors the most busily to please God, forceth upon Him those unseasonable offices which please Him not.—­Hooker.

We do that in our zeal our calmer moments would be afraid to answer.  —­Scott.
