It is not enough to have great qualities We should also have the management of them.

It is not enough to have great qualities We should also have

Summary

This quote suggests that possessing exceptional qualities or talents is not sufficient on its own; one must also possess the ability to effectively manage or utilize those qualities. In other words, it is not just about having potential but also about knowing how to make the most of it. Merely having talent or virtues without the skill to manage them may lead to underutilization or even failure. Hence, the quote emphasizes the importance of developing the necessary skills and strategies to effectively maximize one's abilities.

We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea, because we have heard it, and because our faith tells us so, that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls, or who dwells within them, or how precious they are, those are things which seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.

Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
