Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aids to Self-Culture in the Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica for the Home Educational Circle What is the touchstone of success? Where is the key that will unlock the treasures of fortune, the star that will guide the wanderer along the rugged pathway to the happiness of hopes achieved? There have been many answers to these questions since in the middle ages the alchemists bent for years over the crucible in the vain hope of finding some elixir that would transmute base metals into gold, or since Ponce de Leon lost his life in the new world in his foolish quest for the fabled spring whose waters would restore to his age the strength and elasticity of vanished youth. In these modern days men go on fools´ errands after fortune, wasting the hours they might devote to work and study in chasing some Will-o´-the-Wisp, some vagrant phantom which they hope will for them transmute the base metals of failure and wasted opportunities into the gold of success; but the men who succeed and the men who fail alike will say that Knowledge is Power, and that with no other weapon can the young soldier fight the battle of life. Each man who reads these lines must admit the truth of this assertion. It is the lesson of the times and of all time.
