Summary

This quote suggests that the true purpose or calling of an individual is not to seek power and control over others, but rather to devote oneself to serving and helping others. It implies that the greatest fulfillment and meaning in life come from acts of kindness, selflessness, and making a positive impact on the lives of those around us, rather than from positions of authority or dominance. Serving others is seen as a noble and significant role that aligns with the inherent potential and purpose of an individual's existence.

We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.

I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred; but I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed hungry. So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
