The world is full of capable people, but poor in those who employ the capable man.

Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827) war ein Schweizer Pädagoge, Sozialreformer und Schriftsteller, der an Wirkungsorten wie Zürich, Birr, Stans, Burgdorf und Yverdon arbeitete. Geprägt von der reformierten Tradition und der Aufklärung, begründete er das Konzept der ganzheitlichen Bildung mit „Kopf, Herz und Hand“ sowie das Recht auf Bildung für alle Kinder, scheiterte jedoch wiederholt an der wirtschaftlichen und organisatorischen Leitung seiner Anstalten. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Werk den Versuch, gelebte Nächstenliebe und sittliche Verantwortung in konkrete sozialpädagogische Reformen für Benachteiligte zu übersetzen.

Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength… It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.

Our Lord's example is our example, not only on Calvary but in the workshop, on the road, in the crowd, amid interruptions, amid opposition, amid the lack of quiet and privacy, amid constant demands.
