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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have written of Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest and best statesmen, in “Poor Boys Who Became Famous,” which will explain its omission from this volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS.
