H. Bedford-Jones, Arizona Argonauts — Chapter 10 (1924)
“ Haven't you found that after all life is very good as it is—that in one sense the world does not matter, but that in another sense one must regard it very keenly? To be thought ill of, hurts, and hurts much. ”
H. Bedford-Jones, Arizona Argonauts — Chapter 10 (1924)
“ Since then, I have conquered myself—but in the world's eyes, I can never be rehabilitated. So I, too, have learned the folly of caring what the world thinks or says. It is the inward self that matters ”
H. Bedford-Jones, Arizona Argonauts — Chapter 10 (1924)
“ You'll have to try and understand everything, Doctor Murray; I know that you're a gentleman, and father agrees with me. He isn't an ordinary Chinaman, you know—a coolie. Before the revolution, he went into business. He consolidated a number of antique shops near San Francisco into one big combine, and he's wealthy. But he has so set his heart on doing good to other men who have the opium habit, and helping them to break it, that whoever can approach him in the right way can—can win his trust. ”
