Sinopsis
Excerpt from Talks to Young Men
Good authority for the fact that thistles do not evolve figs. Every live kernel, whether botani cal or human, is stamped with its destiny. An acorn can never grow into anything but an oak. I shall have considerable to say before I am through about a young man's power to shape his own future. It is all the more necessary to begin, therefore, by understanding that that is true only within limits. It has ceased to be a current theory that every mother's boy is liable to become President of the United States. All men are not run in the same mold, and a man is handicapped by his mold. It is not likely that Colonel Smith could have become Napoleon, even if he had lived south Of the Channel in the days of the French Revolution. There is a qual ity in some men that is in them before they begin to do anything, and that cannot be earned by perspiration. Putting a buttercup to school will not graduate it a butterfly, even if it is a very good school. Its only wholesome ambition will be to be as good as it can as a buttercup. Born differences are incorrigible and are a good deal in the nature Of fate.

Excerpt from Talks to Young Men
The most important thing a young man ever does is to get ready. The key-note lasts to the end of the tune, and the foundation reaches clear to the finial. Beginnings are autocratic. No matter how long a man lives, he will never get away from his youth. My initial inquiry, therefore, will concern itself with the matter of stuff. What is in a man at the commencement has almost as much to say as to what he will finish with as the chestnut has to say about the kind of tree that will grow out of it.
