The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft
·
George Gissing
232
Not
that
I
regard
my
life
as
an
example
for
any
one
else;
all
I
say
is,
that
it
is
good
for
me,
and
in
so
far
an
advantage
to
the
world.
To
live
in
quiet
content
is
surely
a
piece
of
good
citizenship.
If
you
can
do
more,
do
it,
and
God-speed!
I
know
myself
for
an
exception.
And
I
ever
find
it
a
good
antidote
to
gloomy
thoughts
to
bring
before
my
imagination
the
lives
of
men,
utterly
unlike
me
in
their
minds
and
circumstances,
who
give
themselves
with
glad
and
hopeful
energy
to
the
plain
duties
that
lie
before
them.
However
one's
heart
may
fail
in
thinking
of
the
folly
and
baseness
which
make
so
great
a
part
of
to-day's
world,
remember
how
many
bright
souls
are
living
courageously,
seeing
the
good
wherever
it
may
be
discovered,
undismayed
by
portents,
doing
what
they
have
to
do
with
all
their
strength.
In
every
land
there
are
such,
no
few
of
them,
a
great
brotherhood,
without
distinction
of
race
or
faith;
for
they,
indeed,
constitute
the
race
of
man,
rightly
designated,
and
their
faith
is
one,
the
cult
of
reason
and
of
justice.
Whether
the
future
is
to
them
or
to
the
talking
anthropoid,
no
one
can
say.
But
they
live
and
labour,
guarding
the
fire
of
sacred
hope.
