Eminence in what is best

Amid different sorts of perfection, this is a rarity. There is no hero without some sublime quality. Mediocrity never wins applause. Eminence at some lofty pursuit redeems us from ordinary vulgarity, raising us to the exceptional. To be eminent in a lowly occupation is to be something at very little : the more comfort, the less glory. To be exceptional at superior things gives you a sovereign character : it wins admiration and gains the goodwill of others.
