Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of the Situation, or Some Secrets of Success and Power Truth is as old as the world. As no two, however, see exactly the same rainbow, so no truth presents itself to all alike. So much has been written, we are told, that it is no longer possible even to appear original. Yet all will agree that the manner of presenting old truths is of the first im portance. The difference in men consists not so much in mere knowledge, after all, as in the ability to reproduce knowledge - that power of the mind which assimilates, tests, and pronounces its Own verdict on all the waifs of idea which are borne to it from the minds of others. Many of us can understand the feeling which prompted him who, failing to find in his library the book he wanted, went to work and made one. On the other hand, at rare intervals we have found the book we wanted as well, only to rise from its perusal with a keener appetite for others like it. One can hardly read certain books without instinctively wishing for more like them. Such books are never crowded, and never crowd. Of such there cannot be too many. Men love Raphael none the less because they admire Correggio. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
