The Purpose Of Life Is To Live

It Is Just As Often A Great Misfortune To Be The Child Of The Rich As It Is To Be The Child Of The Poor. Wealth Has Its Misfortunes. Too Much, Too Great Opportunity And Advantage Given To A Child Has Its Misfortunes.

Common Experience Shows How Much Rarer Is Moral Courage Than Physical Bravery. A Thousand Men Will March To The Mouth Of The Cannon Where One Man Will Dare Espouse An Unpopular Cause . . . True Courage And Manhood Come From The Consciousness Of The Right Attitude Toward The World, The Faith In One's Purpose, And The Sufficiency Of One's Own Approval As A Justification For One's Own Acts.

I Had A Vivid Imagination. Not Only Could I Put Myself In The Other Person's Place, But I Could Not Avoid Doing So. My Sympathies Always Went Out To The Weak, The Suffering, And The Poor. Realizing Their Sorrows I Tried To Relieve Them In Order That I Myself Might Be Relieved.

None Meet Life Honestly And Few Heroically.

One Believes In The Truthfulness Of A Man Because Of His Long Experience With The Man, And Because The Man Has Always Told A Consistent Story. But No Man Has Told So Consistent A Story As Nature.
