The Investment of Influence

CHAPTER XII
7/28

He who aspires to leadership and would have the multitude cheer his name, he who longs for the day when his appearance upon the street shall mean an ovation from the people, must make himself the people's slave, defy all demagogues, brave the fury of party strife, oft be execrated by politicians and sometimes be hated by the multitude.

Having sown self-sacrifice and love, he shall reap fame and adulation.

For nature's law is universal and inexorable--like produces like.

The sheaf is simply the seed enlarged and multiplied.
The sowing contains the germ of all the harvests to be reaped.
The new biography of Benedict Arnold tells us of the despair of the traitor's final days, the remorse that gnawed his heart, the agony that filled his life.

Yet no arbitrary degree was imposed upon Arnold.
