...circumstance which led to the invention of shredded wheat was the burning of the Steel Car Company's shops in St. Joseph, Mo. By building steel passenger and freight cars away back in the 'eighties, Henry D. Perky felt that he was doing a great public service; just as years afterwards he believed in his biscuits as a religion and, in Conquistador spirit, persuaded the people of New England to eat them, as it were at the sword's point, sharpened by a scorn that startled these good people into submission...

Beethoven's emotional power was so deep and true that, in expressing himself, he spoke, like every great philosopher, poet or artist, for all mankind. Which one of us in his own experience, has not felt the same protests against relentless Fate that find such uncontrollable utterance in the first movement? Who, again, is untouched by that angelic message, set before us in the second movement, of hope and aspiration, of heroic and even warlike resolution, mingled with the resignation which only great souls know...
