Leo Tolstoy

I led the life of so many other so-called respectable people,—that is, in debauchery. And like the majority, while leading the life of a debauche, I was convinced that I was a man of irreproachable morality.

We can overcome our fears if we remember that life does not demand more than what it gives. We can’t waste time and energy comparing what we’ve been given, because we must reserve that energy for unloading to our God- given potential. The gifts may not be the on the same dimension or degree but that’s okay. It may not be on the same level as everyone else’s, and that’s okay because we are not called to compete. We are called to maximize the fullness of what God has uniquely entrusted to us. Run your own race, there are victories to be won

The mandarins of culture—what do they do to teach the common folk to read? It’s no good writing down lists of books for farmers and compiling five-foot shelves; you’ve got to go out and visit the people yourself—take the books to them, talk to the teachers and bully the editors of country newspapers and farm magazines and tell the children stories—and then little by little you begin to get good books circulating in the veins of the nation. It’s a great work, mind you!
