Self-Culture Through the Vocation Quotes

“Life has always been commonplace to common- place people; it has been sublime only when men have lived sublimely. Every great cause that ever challenged the support of men demands our service today. The only Holy Land is the ground under our feet; the one Golden Age is the better time we may help bring in; the Kingdom of Heaven is here when we live it from within. To recognize this moment as the supreme opportunity, to reverence the little task at hand as the highest call, is the one way to make of the vocation a path to the achievement, in ever growing measure, of culture, service, sanity and wisdom.”
― Edward Howard Griggs, Self-Culture Through the Vocation
