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.
