Excerpt from Portraits of Eminent Americans Now Living; Including President Pierce and His Cabinet: With Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Their Lives and Actions The following sketches exhibit, as all biography will, that those who are most successful in obtaining honors, public respect and wealth, have not pursued these as the ends of their labors, but have obtained them as incidents to active virtues. When we make reputation, honor, or riches, the motives instead of the rewards of our conduct, we reverse the order which Providence has established, and fail Of obtaining what we are per versely seeking. When Solomon was asked what he most desired, he said, Give thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, nor riches, nor the life of thine enemies, lo I I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee what thou hast not asked, both riches and honor. He asked to perform well his duties, and the performance brought with it riches and honor as incidents of duty.
