Ref#9: Foundation of character
'Any fragmentary attempt to become a better man is futile.
The foundation of a character lies in the absolute unity of the
inner principle of a man's whole life conduct. No doubt . . .
there are few men who have attempted this revolution before
the thirtieth year, and still fewer who have firmly established
it before their fortieth.'
