Not to put up with what masquerades as excellence, not to be content with makeshifts, to know that to seek excellence is natural, and to learn, if only from the living instance before us, that it can be achieved in the things of every-day life, was one of the great lessons which he taught...
...such work, and no further obligation is required of those who engage in it than the honorable carrying out of the work they undertake. In choosing the work in which he is to engage, the student is not limited to the few activities of which he may happen to know, but the whole field of charities is open...
