Show . TOO TRUE. Commodore Vanderbilt, in speaking speak-ing to a friend of the judgment of men upon one's acts, said truly: "when you have lived, sir, to carry as many gray hairs as I do, you will have learned that there is no sympathy sym-pathy with or appreciation of your eflorts, it matters little what may be the circumstances. If you are successful suc-cessful in accumulating a fortune you will be called a speculator and a monopolist, while, if you should fail to amass riches, it will be about the same, as you will be talked of in that ! case as one who don't amount to I much anyhow?" |
