Character: The Grandest Thing in the World
Do we ask, what is character: Is it not that sum of qualities which distinguishes one person from another? If it is no part of Dr. Marden's intent, in this booklet, to catalog those mental and moral traits of most value to mankind, yet it is his intent to name certain deep-rooted dispositions, which are essential in the mental makeup of those who set before themselves a high ideal in seeking for the grandest thing in the world.

An Iron Will
The education of the will is the object of our existence. The development and discipline of one's willpower is of supreme moment in relation to success in life. No man can ever estimate the power of will.

Exceptional Employee
This little book is not written so much for geniuses, or those who have had exceptional opportunities in life, as for persons of ordinary ability who have had only everyday opportunities. The men who have left their mark on the world seized common occasions and made them great. There have been but few great geniuses. It has never been men of ordinary ability and common virtues, with uncommon application, with supreme determination and persistence, who have won the great prizes of life.
