Excerpt from Aim High: Hints and Helps for Young Men
History a?''ords many remarkable illustrations of this power of character. The first that suggests itself to us is that of Washington. He was great in more particulars than one, but his pure and noble character gave him more power over his fellow-men than all things else. Indeed, his real greatness lay at this point. There was an unaffected sincerity and honesty in every act, together with a high religious sentiment, that never fails to command respect. It carries power with it in every time and place. Hence the name of Washington is the synonym of all that is great and good in man, and has been from the time he held the destinies of this country in his hand. Some may have viewed him merely in the light of a military man, and others may have admired him as a statesman, but all are swayed by the irresistible power Of his character, whether they know it or not.
