Brave Men and Women - Their Struggles, Failures, And Triumphs

Brave Men and Women: Their Struggles, Failures, And Triumphs is a collection of biographical work of most successful personalities in various fields written by Osgood E. Fuller.

The brave man or the brave woman is one who looks life in the eye, and says: "God helping me, I am going to [pg 4]realize the best possibilities of my nature, by calling into action the beneficent laws which govern and determine the development of each individual member of the race." And the failures of such a person are the jewels of triumph; that triumph which is certain in the sight of heaven, if not in the eyes of men.

"Brave Men and Women," the title of this volume, is used in a double sense, as referring not only to those whose words and deeds are here recorded, or cited as examples, but also to all who read the book, and are striving after the riches of character.
