“Keep your soul free. What matters most in life is not knowledge, but character … There is a knowledge other than that which is of the domain of memory: the knowledge of how to live. Study must be an act of life, must serve life, must feel itself impregnated with life. Of the two kinds of men, those who endeavor to know something, and those who try to be someone, the palm is to the second. What we know is like a beginning, a rough sketch only; the man is the finished work.” SoulCharacterWorkKnowledgeStudyMan Book:The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods Source: The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods
“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
