Nicolas Chopin was, according to Wincenty Łopaciński, a man of great intelligence and culture, universally esteemed, a model teacher, solicitous of his brilliant son Frédéric. Though he had come from a foreign country, with time he became completely polonized and "undoubtedly considered himself a Pole." His willingness to fight for Poland in the Kościuszko Uprising would bear this out.

Famous quotes containing the word assessment:
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
