Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some of the Public Services of Honorable Philander Chase Knox: Speech of Hon. James Francis Burke Before the Pennsylvania Delegation in Congress on Wednesday, December 4, 1907 Gentlemen of the Pennsylvania Delegation: Theodore Roosevelt, than whom no man living has had wider opportunities of observation or greater ability to accurately appreciate and correctly describe the character of man needed in the solution of the many perplexing problems that confront our people, never coined more convincing and conclusive sentences than when in a public speech he described the Honorable Philander Chase Knox to the people of the United States in these words: "As we face these infinitely difficult problems, let us keep in mind that though we need the highest qualities of the intellect in order to work out proper schemes for their solution, yet we need a thousand times more, what counts for many, many times as much as intellect - we need character. "We need common sense, common honesty and resolute courage. We need what Mr. Knox has shown: the character that will refuse to be hurried into any unwise or precipitate movement by any clamor, whether hysterical or demagogic, and on the other hand, the character that will refuse to be frightened out of a movement by any pressure, still less by any threat, express or implied." Worthy Of Every Word. In the light of present these words seem to bear the very impress of inspiration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
