THE MAGNANIMITY OF BIG
MEN
The story is told that during the
Civil War Jefferson Davis one day
wanted a reliable officer for an im
portant command. He asked Gen
eral Lee what he thought of a cer
tain man by the name of Whiting
for the post. Lee commended him
highly. One of the latter’s officers
was greatly surprised at the Gener
al’s commendations, and, calling him
aside, asked him if he knew what
unkind things Whiting had been
saying about him. Lee said, “I
understand that the President want
ed to know my opinion of Whiting,
and not Whiting’s opinion of me.”
Big men are too magnanimous to
notice criticisms or slights. It is
the small man, who is carried away
with his own importance, who can
not overlook personal attacks.—
Success.
