Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Soldier and Patriot: The Story of George Washington "The just man does not permit the several elements within him to meddle with one another, or any of them to do the work of others; but he sets in order his own inner life, and is his own master, and is at peace with himself: and when he has bound together the three principles within him - which may be compared to the middle, higher, and lower divisions of the scale and the intermediate intervals - when he has bound together all these, and is no longer many, but has become one entirely temperate and perfectly adjusted nature, then he will begin to act, if he has to act, whether in a matter of property, or in the treatment of the body, or some affair of politics or private business." Such was the ideal leader described in Plato´s "Republic;" such was the man who founded the American Republic, nearly two thousand years afterwards. The mind of George Washington was a singularly well-adjusted and evenly-balanced one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
