Excerpt from Horae Subsecivae, Vol. 3 of 3
Every man is two men - at the least. Sydney Smith says St. Paul was a thousand men. But every man is good and bad, wise and foolish, conceited and not. It is the preponderance that makes the difference and the outward man. As one of the bravest men in the British army once said to me, "When we go into battle we are all afraid, but we don"t all show it."
Well, when my friend and publisher spoke to me of putting these odds and ends into a volume, I said at first "No;" now I am saying "Yes," though I still feel both.
