Description:Excerpt from The Durable Satisfactions of LifeBut there is something more, some thing beyond this acquired power of intel lectual labor. As Shakespeare puts it, the purest treasure mortal times afford is spotless reputation. How is that treasure won? It comes by living with honor, on honor. Most of you have begun already to live honorably and honored, for the life of honor begins early. Some things the honorable man cannot do, never does. He never wrongs or degrades a woman. He never oppresses or cheats a person weaker or poorer than himself. He never betrays a trust He is honest, sincere, candid, and generous. It is not enough to be honest. An honorable man must be generous, and I do not mean generous with money only. I mean generous in his judgments of men and women, and of the nature and prospects of mankind. Such generosity is a beautiful attribute of the man of honor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
