A good name is indeed a goodly heritage, one to be transmitted to posterity without a stain. Respectable parentage is a blessing not so much to be proud of as to be profoundly grateful for. Ancestral pride, though pardonable possibly in private, finds no proper place for expression in public. No man should boast about that for which he was not in any sense responsible or claim credit for that in which he had absolutely no part. Honorable ancestry simply levies obligations to be something worthy and to do something worthwhile. It cannot bestow exemptions or relieve responsibilities. Every one must stand on his individual merit. Nothing but shame to him who misuses or abuses his birthright and on the other hand, honor to that one who, rising from obscurity, makes for himself a place among men."
