Excerpt from John Torrey: 1807-1894 The triumphs of genius and the meteoric flights of conquering heroes may command our admiration and elicit our applause, but they can hardly excite emula tion or stimulate effort; for we instinctively feel that there is little in common between them and us, and we are discouraged by the reflection that they move in a different sphere or are gifted with superior and unattainable powers. When, on the other hand, we consider the career of one who, without exceptional advantages or remarkable gifts, has made his life noble and useful, - who has achieved success in just such environment as ours, and with only such means as we are supplied with, - the spirit of emulation is at once aroused, and self - confidence is awakened or restored.
