THE PHYSICIAN SHOULD BE AN AMBITIOUS MAN

To say to a young man “be not ambitious,” is to say to him live the life of a drone.

If ambition were a sin, is it probable that a wise Creator would have endowed nine-tenths of his people with it?

The love of praise is so congenial to our nature, and so powerful a spur to every undertaking, that the moral world would be a chaos without its animating influences.

It is like the sun; it gives life and heat to all around.
