Henry Holbeach Student in Life and Philosophy, Vol. 1: A Narrative and a Discussion (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Henry Holbeach Student in Life and Philosophy, Vol. 1: A Narrative and a Discussion
These little conflicts were the especial horror of Mr Holbeach. He used to call them brutalities, vulgari ties, and other names uglier than I need quote. He would say Competition is brutal. I would at any time rather retire from the field than do the trumpery little elbowing-work which I see going on all around me. It is matter Of fact, known to me, that he Often did so retire. There are two kinds Of egotism, said he; there is the egotism of self-assertion by conflict with others; and there is the egotism of self assertion to onc's own self. I prefer the latter, and so avoid being forced by the heats Of conflict into petty intrigue, or coarse injustice. I do not condemn your choice; but cannot you leave me mine?
