boys, be ambitious
"be ambitious nor for money
or for selfish aggrandizement,
not for that evanescent thing
which men call fame.
be ambitious for the attainment
of all that a man ought to be."
Dr William S. Clark

"The superficial inducement, the exotic,the picturesque has an effect only on the foreigner. To portrait a city, a native must have other, deeper motives - motives of one who travels into the past instead of into distance. A native's book about his city will always be related to memoirs; the writer has not spent his childhood there in vain".
Walter Benjamin
