August 8

“In all this there was no excitement, no predilection for one class of work above another; no enthusiasm for any one-sided object; but an humble, profound, and most religious conscientiousness that work is the appointed calling of man on earth, the end for which his various faculties were given, the element in which his nature is ordained to develop itself, and in which his progressive advance towards Heaven is to lie. . . . He felt every moment that he was doing or was not doing God’s work. He threw into every act, every labour, the consciousness of the divine mission given to all Christians by the Master.”

From Life of Dr Arnold

“In him the sight of evil, and the endeavour to remove it, were hardly ever disjoined.”

From Life of Dr Arnold

“For a brave man to know that an evil is, is simply to know that it has to be vanquished.”
