Let us not only hear God's Word, but also seek to understand it and to let it penetrate deeply into our hearts. Let us also lay a deep foundation in true, earnest, and daily repentance so our faith does not wither and dry up in the heat of temptation. -- C.F.W. Walther, *God Grant It!* p. 217
That would make a very good basic principle for living one's life.
