HE CAN WHO THINKS HE CAN, AN IRON WILL & PUSHING TO THE FRONT. Orison Swett Marden

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ with conscious rectitude, with a face that never turns pale at the accuser's voice, with a bosom that never throbs with fear of exposure, with a heart that might be turned inside out and disclose no stain of dishonor? To have done no man a wrong; to have put your signature to no paper to which the purest angel in heaven might not have been an attesting witness; to walk and live, unseduced, within arm's length of what is not your own, with nothing between your desire and its gratification but the invisible law of rectitude;—this is to be a man.

      Man is the only great thing in the universe. All the ages have been trying to produce a perfect model. Only one complete man has yet evolved. The best of us are but prophesies of what is to come.

      What constitutes a state?

      Not high-raised battlement or labored mound,

      Thick wall or moated gate;

      Not cities proud with spires and turrets crowned;

      Not bays and broad-armed ports,

      Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride;

      Not starred and spangled courts,

      Where low-browed baseness wafts perfume to pride.

      No: men, high-minded men,

      With powers as far above dull brutes endued

      In forest, brake, or den,

      As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude,—

      Men who their duties know,

      But know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain,

      Prevent the long-aimed blow,

      And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain.

      WILLIAM JONES.

      God give us men. A time like this demands

      Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands:

      Men whom the lust of office does not kill;

      Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;

      Men who possess opinions and a will;

      Men who have honor—men who will not lie;

      Men who can stand before a demagogue

      And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winking;

      Tall men sun-crowned, who live above the fog

      In public duty, and in private thinking.

      ANON.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
