It Is Possible That The Scrupulously Honest Man May Not Grow Rich So Fast As The Unscrupulous And Dishonest One; But The Success Will Be Of A Truer Kind, Earned Without Fraud Or Injustice. And Even Though A Man Should For A Time Be Unsuccessful, Still He Must Be Honest: Better Lose All And Save Character. For Character Is Itself A Fortune. . . .

It Is Not Eminent Talent That Is Required To Ensure Success In Any Pursuit, So Much As Purpose-not Merely The Power To Achieve, But The Will To Labour Energetically And Perseveringly. Hence Energy Of Will May Be Defined To Be The Very Central Power Of Character In A Man-in A Word, It Is The Man Himself.
