Desire of Excellence

By Albert Barnes

THE original desire, as it may exist in the bosom of angels, as it was implanted in Adam, and as it may attend us hereafter in a high and holy world, is the desire of excellence, of virtue, of the cultivation of our powers, of making as much of ourselves and of doing as much in the sphere where we are placed, as possible.—Albert Barnes.
