Then it was a question of selecting, from what was outside, the best. Now the problem is to eradicate, from what is within, the worst. The results tend in the same direction; the processes are distinct. Any little peculiarities must be carefully guarded against. The more amiable they are, the more dangerous they are. Your motto must be 'upward and onward," even at the cost of every feeling of real kindness, courtesy, and friendship. These are only peculiarities...
