About this book
Drawing on prose and verse, Constance M. Whishaw arranges short passages from writers of different periods into a calendar of moral reflection. Entries carry a date and a subject, moving from New Year resolutions and purpose to patience, truth, and the care needed in judging other people. Goethe, Marcus Aurelius, R. L. Stevenson, and Phillips Brooks appear among the voices gathered here.
Christian faith gives many selections their direction, while attention repeatedly returns to ordinary conduct: speaking honestly, meeting duty, managing pride, and treating others with respect. The July readings consider the damage done by misleading impressions and the discipline of being truthful with oneself.
