JACOB BURNAP American clergyman (1748 - 1821) Decision of character is one of the most important of human qualities, philosophically considered. Speculation, knowledge, is not the chief end of man; it is action. * * * "Give us the man," shout the multitude, "who will step forward and take the responsibility." He is instantly the idol, the lord and the king among men. He, then, who would command among his fellows, must excel them more in energy of will than in power of intellect.       - [Character] No woman is educated who is not equal to the successful management of a family.       - [Education] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
