Character and Achievement

SOME things must be in the man before the best things can go down in his record. The quality of doing depends upon the quality of being. What we are decides what we shall achieve. Faith and action, humility and courage, tenderness and conscientiousness, are the beautiful and balancing traits that must shine in us before our record shall greatly shine. Every man is the artificer of his own fortune, because every man is the builder of his own character. If this work of the interior be right, the work of external achievement will be right also.—Sel.
