If you would be perfect you must pay the price of perfection.
Unless the passion of life is this perfection it never will be your possession.
Dreams of ideal goodness only waste the hours in which it might have been achieved.
No man ever finds character in his sleep.
The education of the heart is a thing even more definite than the education of the head.
The school of character has an infinite variety of courses and an unending curriculum.
This does not mean that this prize of eternity falls
only to those who devote themselves wholly to self-culture,
to the salvation of their own souls.
The best lives have thought little of themselves,
but they have lived for the ends of the soul, to help men to better living,
to save them from the things that blight and damn the soul.
Like the Leader of men they have found the life unending by laying down their lives,
paying the full price, selling all in order that right and truth and honour and purity,
love and kindness and justice might remain to man.
