Excerpt from Gentlefolks and OthersMen and women interest us in proportion to what we know of them. Form, feature, movement, speech and conduct, tell us one half: surroundings, education, occupation and results attained, tell the other half. From the whole we come to see how curious a mixture of inherited traits, of special endowments, of world-influences, of self-control and of self-indulgence we all are. How far we are responsible for the coloring of our own lives, how far for that of other lives, are questions to be answered only after careful observation and impartial deductions.Looking at Human Nature with a sincere desire to learn its meaning, I can see no truth of so vital an importance as individual development. That this belief does not necessarily produce beautiful effects or noble works, I should be prompt to admit. But if you and I give of our best and continue the pursuit of something still better, can more than this be demanded?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
