Show AMBITION.-That life is a poor one which is without ambition-which has no object to work for, no height to strive to reach. A person may be good and kind-hearted while willing to live in idle ignorance and let the world go on growing in wealth and wisdom without his taking an active part and interest in its onward movements-he may be good, but most certainly he is dull of mind and sluggish of body. No individual destitute of ambition will make his mark in the world. He will come and go; few will note his coming, and few will grieve at his going. Ambition it is that gives men the energy and the will and the determination to accomplish great things. |
