[LM_NET] Target: Quote identification

I found this quote in "A man's value to society" by Newell Dwight Hillis and I'm 
trying to figure out who said it originally

' ' Not all men are of equal value. Not many Platos: 
only one, to whom a thousand lesser minds look up 
and learn to think. Not many Dantes: one. and a 
thousand poets tune their harps to his and repeat his 
notes. Not many Raphaels: one, and no second. But 
a thousand lesser artists looking up to him are lifted 
to his level. Not many royal hearts — great maga- 
zines of kindness. Happy the town blessed with a 
few great minds and a few great hearts. One such 
citizen will civilize an entire community. " — H. 

Does anyone have an idea who "H" is?

TIA,

Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,

Are a substantial world, both pure and good.

Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,

Our pastime and our happiness will grow.

William Wordsworth
