Samuel Smiles - Character eBook

From the best-selling author of Self-Help Samuel Jr. Smiles.Character is one of the greatest motive powers in the world. In its noblest embodiments, it exemplifies human nature in its highest forms, for it exhibits man at his best.Men of genuine excellence, in every station of lifemen of industry, of integrity, of high principle, of sterling honesty of purposecommand the spontaneous homage of mankind. It is natural to believe in such men, to have confidence in them, and to imitate them. All that is good in the world is upheld by them, and without their presence in it the world would not be worth living in.
