I'd been wondering whose picture you had in your avatar. So with trembling fingers, I clicked on your link.
To my surprise, I like your man, Jackson. Here's a quote from him, accessed by your link:

Life is highly competitive, business and government are in constant search (even in bad times) for men who know, who stand up under responsibilities, who have courage and character. But they demand that men prepare for positions before obtaining them. They do not expect one to learn wholly by the costly process of trial and error. You should not be misled by talk of advancement through “pull” or relationship, nor even politics. That is the gospel of the misfit, to explain his failure. The fact is that responsibility comes to one who is prepared for it as certainly as harvest follows seed time. To give responsibility to one who is not prepared merely injures the appointing power and humiliates the one advanced. Even politicians know that.
