His mind is clear and unclouded.

His eyes are full of that vigorous light of conscientious desire to win and do so honestly.

He has none of the hypocritical elements in his nature strong enough to rule him.

There may be and probably are many weaknesses in his character.

His very strength consists in his ability to _crush them and make them his slaves_.
The man who has taken his morning plunge and dressed himself agreeable to comfort and grace, has his battles of the day won in advance.
