Balliol College, January 18.
My dear Nichol, ... I hope you will not allow yourself to become the most miserable and contemptible of all characters, a disappointed man. There is no class that the world has less sympathy for than those who are full of sympathy for themselves, if I may use the expression. And disappointment is quite unnatural at your age. You have no reason for it except ill-health, and that I hope is now passing away. With your abilities, if you take the right means, and throw y...ourself a little more into life, there are many paths open to you.
Your kindness leads you to think that I have done more for you than I have. I know, from long experience, that I can do hardly anything for others. But they can do much for themselves. . . .
Eccentricity is a difficult thing to correct ; we never see it ourselves, and persons who are familiar with us hardly observe it. It is often mistaken for character; but eccen- tricity is a mere blind weakness, character is strength. . . . Some would speak also of humility " not thinking of our- selves more highly than we ought to think " as the reverse of isolation, and " of casting all our care upon Him who careth for us " as the opposite of that anxious temper of mind in which ill-health often makes us indulge.
