Excerpted from: Each is Great in His Own Place
"It is the most difficult thing in this world to work
and not care for the result, to help a man and never
think that he ought to be grateful, to do some good
work and at the same time never look to see whether
it brings you name or fame, or nothing at all.
Even the most arrant coward becomes brave when the world
praises him. A fool can do heroic deeds when the approbation
of society is upon him, but for a man to constantly do good
without caring for the approbation of his fellow men is indeed
the highest sacrifice man can perform."
