Thoreau and Rousseau and Emerson and Ruskin were great men, but had they talked less and actually lived out the life they preached, the world might possibly have been aroused to a consciousness of something higher by this time; but they were too small for the task. It requires a man cast in a bigger mold to perform the work it is only in men like me that the future hope of the race lies.

It is, I should think, the easiest of all to manage. For racing, a cutter; for a long pleasure voyage, a schooner; for cruising in home waters, the yawl; and the handling of them all is indeed a fine art.

It requires a peculiar combination of qualities, I think, very peculiar and rare, to deal successfully with the mind of the masses." "I should think so indeed," said Fleda.

Can we lay down any useful rules in the matter, indicating what types of cases require untruthfulness? What exceptions are allowable to the duty of truthfulness?
