Commonplace Book

'"...The public man who chooses the ideally right rather than the conventionally popular, must be prepared for misunderstanding and misrepresentation and disappointment and personal failure; the truth will prevail in the end, but not each separate preacher of it. Nevertheless his life will not be wasted; he will have served as a sign-post upon that upward path..."'

from Place and Power by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler (Book III, Chapter XII)
