Father Damien, born Joseph de Veuster (January 3, 1840 – April 15, 1889)
“I would not be cured if the price of the cure was that I must leave the island and give up my work… I am perfectly resigned to my lot. Do not feel sorry for me.” - Father Damien, born Joseph de Veuster (January 3, 1840 – April 15, 1889)

Wonderful! Father Damien was (and still is ) an inspiration to everyone. What a wonderful man and a wonderful example he set for us.
