Excerpt from The Making of Manhood St. Paul, in a well-known and memorable passage, lays down the rule that if there be such a thing as virtue, it is our duty to think of all that makes for virtue; and not merely to think, in our loose and general use of the term, but to fix our thought on such things as are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. The control of our thought is our great prerogative. We are what we think, and unless we think of noble things we shall not be noble, and unless we have the high thought we cannot live the high life.
