  14.as it is possible for any human being to make.


  15.I made a special study of Lincoln’s method of dealing with men.


  16.Did he indulge in criticism?


  17.Oh, yes. He not only criticized


  18.but he wrote letters and poems ridiculing people


  19.and dropped these letters on the country roads where they were sure to be found.


  20.One of these letters aroused resentments that burned for a lifetime.


  21.In the autumn of 1842,

  27.On the appointed day,


  28.he and Shields prepared to fight to the death,


  29.but at the last minute,


  30.their seconds interrupted and stopped the duel.


  31.This accident taught Lincoln an invaluable lesson in the art of dealing with people.


  32.Never again did he write an insulting letter.


  33.Never again did he ridicule anyone.


  34.And from that time on,


  35.he almost never criticized anybody for anything.


  36.Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain — and most fools do.


  37.But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.


  38.A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little man.
