Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897

“Then and there I resolved that I would not give so
much time as heretofore to play, but would study
and strive to be at the head of all my classes and
thus delight my father's heart. All that day and far
into the night I pondered the problem of boyhood. I
thought that the chief thing to be done in order to
equal boys was to be learned and courageous. So I
decided to study Greek and learn to manage a
horse. Having formed this conclusion I fell asleep.
My resolutions, unlike many such made at night, did
not vanish with the coming light. I arose early and
hastened to put them into execution. They were
resolutions never to be forgotten-destined to mold
my character anew”
