The desire of excellence is the necessary
attribute of those who excel. We work
little for thing unless we wish for it. But
We can not of ourselves estimate the de-
gree of our success in what we strive for;
that is left to others. With the desire for
excellence comes, therefore, the desire for
appreciation. And this distinguishes in
tellectual excellence from moral excellence,
for the latter has no necessity of human
tribunal; it is more apt to shrink from pub
ilc than to invite the public to be its
j udge.-Bu lscer Lyttou.
