He that means to be a good limner will be sure to draw after the
most excellent copies and guide every stroke of his pencil by the
better pattern that lays before him; so he that desires that the

examples, and will never be content till he equals or excels
them."--OWEN FELTHAM

indeed, it never entirely ceases. But the time arrives, in the

of friends and comrades, which continue to mould the character by
the powerful influence of example.
