With the great, one's thoughts and manners easily become great; ... what this country longs for is personalities, grand persons, to counteract its materialities, says Emerson. Such lives as are sketched in this book are a constant inspiration, both to young and old. They teach Garfield's oft-repeated maxim, that "the genius of success is still the genius of labor." They teach patriotism - a deeper love for and devotion to America. They teach that life, with some definite and noble purpose, is worth living.
