(Credit will be given to your own words, not just copying from the question paper)

It is physically impossible for a well-educated or brave man to make money the

chief object of his thoughts, just as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of

them. All healthy people like making money_ought to like it and enjoy the sensation of

winning it; it is something better than money. A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes

to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay_very properly so, and justly grumbles

when you keep him ten years without it_still his main notion of life is to win battles,

not to be paid for winning them. So of clergyman's object is essentially baptize and

preach not to be paid for preaching. So of doctors: They like fees no doubt, - out to like

them, yet if they are brave and well-educated, the entire object of their lives is not fee.

They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick, and if they are good doctors, and the choice

were fairly put to them, would rather cure their patient and lose their fee than kill him

and get it. And so with all the other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fee

second_very important always, but still second.
