________________ Towards the Heights If you find leisure at times, ask your true friendthe soul—this one question: What would you elect, my friend, between the twain—to move towards the heights turning into a beacon-light or plunge into the abyss under a pall of darkness=' Speech Some people do not know these days how to speak even. To speak before the rich, assuming the posture of a cur, and of a wolf before the destitute—this is surely not the manner of man's speech. Speech must be consistent. What is for the wealthy, must be for the destitute. The speaker must observe that his speech be unfaltering and lucid, in every sentence reflecting the glow of an independent spirit flashing forth from his original mind. This alone could stand as the earnest expression of a speaker no less than as the refined mode of addressing! 90
