Bishop Jortin Quote

“He who does the most good is the greatest man. Power, authority, dignity; honors, wealth, and station,—these are so far valuable as they put it into the hands of men to be more exemplary and more useful than they could be in an obscure and private life. But then these are means conducting to an end, and that end is goodness.”
