The remarkable beauty of his face always seemed to me an expression of this delightful boyishness--his smile deepening this effect in a most charming manner.
He loved life with a boy's fervour, regarding it always as an opportunity for winning success.

The difficulties of work, like the difficulties of a mathematical problem called out the athletic qualities of an otherwise shy and almost effeminate nature.

He loved to pit his brains against other men, rejoiced to discover obstacles in his path, never despaired when things went against him, and infinitely preferred the battle for success to the success itself.

In this, too, he was a boy; he had to win a fight fairly and honourably to enjoy the victory.

I believe him to have been one of the most honest and straightforward men that ever made a fortune in business.
There was no man less embittered by failure and disappointment.
