Description:'Lives of great men all remind us—" MUCH indeed can we gain from a painstaking study of the why's of the success of men who have come to be classed among the truly great. Men like Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, George William Childs, and Abraham Lincoln have lived in vain, unless you and I can gather some bit of philosophy, some pleasant thought, or some habit of life—the one or the other of which will make us better men, or add to the peace and tranquillity of our lives. This volumette is intended to place one thought, one idea of right living before its readers, in such brief and understandable form, that anyone who cares for his own future or the future happiness of those dear ones about him, will be able to read, think, digest and act— Act—magic word. Reader, if from the following pages you will extract one idea, imitate one thought or act of one of these twelve men, I will have been repaid a thousand times and more. Put yourself on trial, with these "twelve good men and true" as the jury. What would be their opinion of your habits of life? And now, having given yourself a fair trial, are you — you, yourself — satisfied that you have done — are doing — everything you can to leave a name behind you, an impress on the crust of the heart of the world? We love the memory of Franklin for what he gave us in example of thought and act. He discovered electricity, a thing in itself great — but it is not that for which we revere his memory. What then? For the example he set us of honesty of purpose, of frugality, of steadfastness. The germ of greatness is in us all and needs only careful nurture and development. Money of itself is not power, but it is a means of developing power. By its proper use, one may secure education through association, through books, and by means of travel. The man with money in his pocket — if he be a man — can always command respect and attention. First, then, let us be men — honest and dependable men — and then let us have money — the wherewithal to carry forward and make happy and comfortable the lives of ourselves and those looking to or depending upon us. Bacon said — "A man's ordinary expenses ought to be but to the half of his receipts, and if he think to wax rich, but to the third part." However, incomes are larger than in the days of Bacon, who lived three hundred and fifty years ago. Then, the salary of the parish priest might have been as much as two hundred and fifty dollars a year, and so now the man who religiously sets aside a small part of his income, and lives comfortably and carefully, may and probably will find himself in easy circumstances before he has lived his two-score and ten, with still a score of his best years ahead — Years to which he can look forward without fear.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
