Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George H. Hepworth, Preacher, Journalist, Friend of the People: The Story of His Life "It is no mean happiness, therefore to be seated in the mean," is one of those "good sentences and well pronounced," that Shakespeare puts in the mouth of Nerissa, the shrewd Italian maid, but it is good American doctrine as well. In an early sermon to young men Dr. Hepworth wrote, "You may well thank God if no fortune has been left you; for that you were born poor is the best thing that ever happened to you. And, moreover, you may well thank God that you were born in this blessed land where there are no barriers to man´s ambition. You shall have whatever you work for. You shall stand on whatever plane, however lofty, your talents fit you for, and your strong will can reach. Be persistent, but, above all, be noble. Begin life with a fixed purpose and keep to that purpose as the sea-captain keeps to his compass." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
