Synopsis "Character: The Grandest Thing in the World"

"Life is a leaf of paper white, Whereon each one of us may write His word or two, and then comes night. Greatly begin! Though thou have time But for a line, be that sublime, - Not failure, but low aim, is crime. "- LOWELL. -Chapter IXOne in a series of phenomenal bestsellers in its day, CHARACTER: THE GRANDEST THING IN THE WORLD was first published in 1899 and remains a little-known classic in the literature of personal development. As a predecessor of today's personal success gurus reminiscent of Stephen Covey and Anthony Robbins, Marden's goal here is to catalog those traits essential who set high ideals for themselves in seeking "the grandest thing in the world." Also available from Cosimo Classics: Marden's Cheerfulness as a Life Power and Pushing to the Front, Vols. 1 and 2.

Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848–1924), an American writer and editor from the 19th and 20th centuries, was a pioneer in the field of personal development and success. Author of numerous books, including "Success Through Thought" and "How to Find the Ideal Job and Life," he inspired millions with his teachings.

He wrote mostly about how to achieve success in life and founded SUCCESS magazine in 1897. His writings discuss the principles and common-sense virtues that contribute to a successful and fulfilling life. Many of his ideas are based on the philosophy of New Thought.

His first book, "Pushing to the Front" (1894), instantly became a bestseller. Subsequently, Marden published fifty or more books and pamphlets, averaging two titles per year.
