Quotations
On Biography
|
- The
great
lesson of biography
is to show what man can be and do at his best. A noble life put fairly
on record acts like an inspiration to others.—Samuel Smiles.
- To be
ignorant of the lives
of the most celebrated men of antiquity is to continue in a state of
childhood
all our days.—Plutarch.
|
- Biography,
especially the biography
of the great and good, who have risen by their own exertions from
poverty
and obscurity to eminence and usefulness, is an inspiring and ennobling
study. Its direct tendency is to reproduce the excellence it
records.—Horace
Mann.
