Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it. Common sense is only a modification of talent. Genius is an exaltatin of it. The difference is therefore in degree, not nature. When people have no other tyrant, their own public opinion becomes one. Dream manfully and nobly, and thy dreams shall be prophets. One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error. |
