The School of Calvary Quotes

“First of all, there were the sufferings which were incident to the very existence of a majestic purpose.”
― John Henry Jowett, The School of Calvary

“Now, the range of our possible sufferings is determined by the largeness and nobility of our aims. It is possible to evade a multitude of sorrows by the cultivation of an insignificant life. Indeed, if it be a man’s ambition to avoid the troubles of life, the recipe is perfectly simple — let him shed his ambitions in every direction, let him cut the wings of every soaring purpose, and let him assiduously cultivate a little life, with the fewest correspondences and relations.”
― John Henry Jowett, The School of Calvary
