Personality of English People -2


He wrote to the Hale sisters in November 28, 1896: "The English are not so bright as the Americans, but once you touch their heart it is yours for ever.... I now understand why the Lord has blessed them above all other races -steady,  sincere to the backbone,  with great depths of feeling, only with a crust of stoicism on the surface.  If that is broken you have your man. ' In another letter;  ' You know,  of course,  the steadiness of the English; they are,  of all nations, least jealous of each other and that is why they dominate the world.  They have solved the secret of obedience without slavish cringing - great freedom with law-abidingness. ' On still another occasion he called the English 'a nation of heroes,  the true  kshatriyas.... Their education is to hide their feelings and never to show them.  If you know how to reach the English heart,  he is your friend for ever.  If he has once an idea put into his brain,  it never comes out;  and the immense practicality and energy of the race makes it sprout up and immediately bear fruit. '
