“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.

“A man is already of consequence in the world when it is known that we can implicitly rely upon him.

“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life.

“The crown and glory of life is character. It is the noblest possession of a man, constituting a rank in itself, and an estate in the general good-will; dignifying every station, and exalting every position in society. It exercises a greater power than wealth, and secures all the honor without the jealousies of fame. It carries with it an influence which always tell; for it is the result of proved honor, rectitude, and consistency-qualities which, perhaps more than any other, command the general confidence and respect of mankind.” MenCharacterLife IsWealthResultsQualityGreaterInfluenceMankindPositionHonorExerciseFameGloryPossessionCommandCarrieStationsCrownsEstatesConsistencyGood WillGreater PowerRectitude Book:Happy Homes and the Hearts that Make Them.
