Character

Ralph Waldo Emerson. We pass for what we are. Character teaches above our wills. Men imagine that they coiniuunicate tlieir virtue or vice only by overt actions and do nol see thal virtue or vice emits a breath cvery moment. Fear never bnt you sball be consistent in whatever varietv of actions, so tby be each' honest and natural in tbeir hóur. For if one will tbe actions will be harmonious, however uniike they seem These varicties are lost sight of when seen at a little distance, at aiittlc íeight of tíiought. One tendency imites them all. Thfi voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line ufa hundred tacks. This is" only microsospic criticisai. See the line from a suilicient distance, and it strairh(ens itself to the average tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your otbergenuine actions, your conformity explaius nothing. Act singly and what you have already done singly will justify you now. __________
