Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Gladstone, the Liberal Statesman: An Address Delivered in St. Ignatius College Hall Wednesday Evening, October 12, 1881 Ladies and Gentlemen: - Old Carlyle says, that no nobler feeling than that of admiration for one higher than himself, dwells in the breast of man. If this be so, the world is not deficient in noble feelings, for admiration is freely awakened and generously given. But there are two orders of men who receive perhaps the greater share of this admiration, and they are the soldier and the statesman; and, if you have observed, the former apparently is accorded the greater meed of praise, for rarely is it that the statesman receives a guerdon commensurate with his labor; rarely is he assigned that high position by his contemporaries to which both the nature and importance of his work entitle him. The popular eye sees at once and recognizes the blazing success of the general, defending his country; but seldom does it see the silent, unostentatious laborer, at the councils of state, moulding and forming his country. Construction is a matter of course - it is destruction that astonishes. Never, to the great mass, are the wonderful processes that evolved the earth a subject of surprise - the earthquake strikes them breathless!
