A Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To be active is the primary vocation of man. — © Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To be active is the primary vocation of man.
Every man has a vocation to be someone: but he must understand clearly that in order to fulfill this vocation he can only be one person: himself.
Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation.

My vocation, at last I have found it; my vocation is love.
A vocation is not something you slap on, like a coat of paint, and change whenever you want. A vocation is built into you. You have no choice. If you try to do something else, you fail.
The pursuit of excellence is the proper vocation of man.
Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.
Men should stay active and healthy, and even when they aren't active, active wear is so comfortable.
Many people don't understand the difference between a vocation and your own idea about something. A vocation is a call-one you don't necessarily want. The only thing I ever wanted to be was an actress. But I was called by God.
