You are in this profession as a calling, not as a
business; as a calling which exacts from you at every turn
self-sacrifice, devotion, love and tenderness to your fellow-men.
Once you get down to a purely business level, your influence is gone
and the true light of your life is dimmed. You must work in the
missionary spirit, with a breadth of charity that raises you far above
the petty jealousies of life.
………..Sir William Osler
