Excerpt from Essays and SpeechesThe truly great character must unite unusual strength and determination with great gentleness. My boy was imperious. He recognized no superior on earth, and yet was the tender and intimate friend of the weak and hum ble. I have taken him with me among the greatest in the nation and looked in vain for any evidence in him of awe or even curiosity. He has taken me, asking me to help them, among the poor and lowly of earth.He loved his friends, and but recently told his mother that our house was all through the coming years to be the stopping-place for his college friends passing through the city. How grateful our lonely hearts will be to them now if they will only accept this invitation and sleep in his room and fill for a little time the empty chair.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
