Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Self-Control or Life Without a Master, a Short Treatise This book is published for the purpose, mainly, of inducing men to open their eyes and see where they stand in their relations with their fellow men. In other words, its object is to lead men to think. The author does not propose to tell men what they do not know, but what they do know, when they take the trouble to think. One man knows more than other ordinary men only so far as he thinks and inquires more than they do. The germ of all thought lies in every man´s bosom, even in the bosom of every child. In too many cases this germ remains neglected, and so it continues to be undeveloped and unproductive; in others, it is carefully nursed and cultivated, till it grows and finally bears fruit. A man may have a thought for a lifetime, and still not dream that he has such a possession. Thoughts neglected are as thoughts that do not exist. No thought thrives, no thought ever amounts to anything, unless it receives attention; it may come to the surface to-day, and never appear afterward. The lower animals think, but they do not know that they think, and the lower orders of the human race are precisely like them in that respect. An intelligent man not only thinks, but holds on to his thoughts; he treasures them up and puts them out at interest, and they sometimes produce ten and sometimes a hundredfold.
