Wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame,
Obtained with labour, for mankind employed,
And then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.

Wisdom alone is true ambitions's aim,
Wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame,
Obtained with labour, for mankind employed,
And then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.

There is nothing noble about being superior to some other men. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
