E M Blaiklock

'The secret of all living as the years increase their total and their toll, is not to surrender. I do not mean by that to hold on to place and office in a manner which blocks the ambitions and stunts the ability of youth, I do not mean to hold the floor, to talk unceasingly and to crowd the scene. I mean that there is always work to do and there is life in doing it'.

E M Blaiklock, from one of his autobiographies. Blaiklock was a distinguished professor of Classics at the University of Auckland until the 1970s. He was also involved with the Auckland campus branch of the Evangelical Union. I just like it. Right, back to work.
