“Every work is great when it is in exact measure. A work that exceeds its proper limits is the least of all. We have said repeatedly that your work, your proper work, is unique; another man's work is equally so, do not interchange with him. You alone can do well what is laid upon you; you would do badly what your neighbor will do well. God is satisfied in all.” HumanityWorkCreativityLimitsSatisfactionUniquenessVocationLimitations Book:The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods Source: The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods
“What wisdom and what virtue there is in judging oneself truly and in remaining oneself! You have a part that only you can play; and your business is to play it to perfection, instead of trying to force fortune. Our lives are not interchangeable. Equally by aiming too high and by falling too low, one misses the path to the goal. Go straight ahead, in your own way, with God for guide.” StudyHumilityVocationPrudenceTemperanceLimitationsStudiousness Book:The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods Source: The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods
