The Autobiography of Samuel Smiles, LL (Classic Reprint)

The history of a mans own life is, to himself, the most interesting history in the world. Every man is an original and solitary character. None can either understand or feel the book of his own life like himself. The lir es of other men are to him dry and vapid when set beside his own. Cecil sR emains. In old age alone we are masters of a treasure of which we cannot be deprhred, the only treasure we can call our own. The pleasures of memory, and the retrospect of the varied images winch in an active life have floated before the mind, compensate, and more than compensate, for the alternate pleasures and cares of active life. Sir Archibald A lison.
