HELP THE FAULTY.
There are few prophets in the world • —few heroes. I can't afford to give all my love and reverence to such rarities. I want, a great deal of these feelings for my everyday fellow-man, especially for the few in the foreground of the great multitude whose faces I know, whose hands I touch. It is more needful that my heart should swell with loving admiration, at some trait of gentle goodness in the faulty people who sit at the same hearth with me, than, at deeds of heroes whom I shall never know except by hearsay.—George ■Eliot.
