Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: The Typical American, a Sermon In our Lord´s Gospel by Saint John, fifth chapter, thirty-fifth verse, you may read these words: "He was a burning and a shining light." Henry Ward Beecher relates that when he visited the Alps his first complete view of Mont Blanc was disappointing. He was near to the mountain, in the Vale of Chamounix, and there were no other heights with which he could compare the giant. But afterward, from a distance, he saw the "Monarch of Mountains" towering in solitary grandeur above all surrounding peaks. Only distance could reveal the true perspective and relative size of the greatest mountain in Europe. Great men, like great mountains, need distance to be seen and judged truly. Not until judgment has dethroned passion, and reason has disarmed prejudice, are men in a frame of mind to deal justly with the leaders of any age.
