Excerpt from Making the Most of Ourselves Talks For: Young People; Second Series
F the forces that can enter into the life of youth there are few of more importance than enthusiastic admiration for heroic men. To feel, from reading or observation, the impact of a great nature upon one's own is to be changed forever afterwards, at least in ideals. It is to realize, as perhaps not even dreamed of before, what human nature is capable of. It is to comprehend to some degree the strength, the achievement possible to the human person ality. It is to have kindled in you the aspira tion to be a man of the same pattern, in so far as may be. It is undoubtedly true that heroic men pro duce other heroes by example and inspiration.
