He saw humanity in the distance as well as beside him, and saw it was the same humanity, far off as near. Yet his extended vision rested where the mists began. It did not seek to penetrate the realms of unreality. He was not misled by any dream of reforming the world. The consciousness of being able to do something for mankind, and the desire to do all that he could, did not betray him into the folly of supposing that he could do everything. He was as far from being a schemer as if he had not t...he means of scheming. He was not imaginative, much less fanciful.
