James Gould Cozzens Quotes

At Childerstown High School And At College He Had Never Led His Class Nor Taken Prizes; But, Without Being Aware That He Did, He Really Blamed This On His Failure To Work Hard, Or Any Harder Than He Needed To ... What He Did Not Know, What Paul Bonbright, Among Others, Showed Him, Was That Those Abilities Of His That Got Him, Without Distinction But Also Without Much Exertion, Through All Previous Lessons And Examinations, Were Not First Rate Abilities Handicapped By Laziness, But Second Rate, By No Degree Of Effort Or Assiduity To Be Made The Equal Of Abilities Like Bonbright's.
