When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Our vocation, to be beautiful, must be full of thought for others.

An educator’s most important task, one might say his holy duty, is to see to it that no child is discouraged at school, and that a child who enters school already discouraged regains his self-confidence through his school and his teacher. This goes hand in hand with the vocation of the educator, for education is possible only with children who look hopefully and joyfully upon the future.

Look round the habitable world, how few Know their own good, or, knowing it, pursue!

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.

Where your talents and the needs of the world cross; there lies your vocation.
