“One must get used to speaking of one’s virtues bravely, to people’s faces. Who is to know, if not we ourselves, to what degree we are good?”
“Peter, before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences. The work, not the people.” (578)”
“Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences. The work, not the people. Your own action, not any possible object of your charity.”
“Every person must face the consequences of their actions. I just pray all who are sleeping, wake up before their "consequences" affect me.”
“Was it you or I who stumbled first? It does not matter. The one of us who finds the strength to get up first, must help the other.”
