R. C. Samsel quotes
"Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character."
Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but,
Enthusiasm...the sustaining power of all great action.
