Greatness of ultimate distinction

Posted on at


No person ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is requied of him. It is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the needed, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction and by constant self-discipline and self-control we can develop a clear sense of character. Greatness lies, not in being active, but in the right using of courage; and courage is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose courage carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
