The Value of an Ideal (1914)

""The Value of an Ideal"" is a book written by William Jennings Bryan, an American orator and politician, originally published in 1914. In this book, Bryan explores the importance of having a strong moral ideal and how it can shape one's life and society as a whole. He argues that a person's character and actions are heavily influenced by their ideals, and that the pursuit of these ideals can lead to personal fulfillment and societal progress. Bryan draws on examples from history and literature to illustrate his points, and emphasizes the need for individuals to strive towards their own ideals rather than simply conforming to societal norms. Overall, ""The Value of an Ideal"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of ideals in shaping human behavior and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
