This world is not a place merely to live in, nor a place only to do certain kinds of business. It is a great workshop in which to make women and men of character.

It is not easy for us to grow into a beautiful life and noble character. Sure, it’s not hard to take a lump of clay, and shape it into any form we desire. It’s fairly easy to take a piece of soft wood, and carve it into a figure of beauty. But it is harder to cut a block of marble into a form of loveliness, for the stone is hard. And it is harder still to take a block of flawed humanity, and make it into a great and noble being. Yet that is what life calls on us to do.
