Trading is a small part of the work of the stock exchanges. They are really to do with financial speculation, and they speculate on the value of the yen, the dollar, the pound, the franc, or the euro, at any given time.

Edwin Lefevre

I did not learn my theology all at once, but had to search constantly deeper and deeper for it.
