Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1912 — Modest Ambition. [ARTICLE]

Modest Ambition.

I do not care for wealth and fame. Particularly fame, I wouldn’t give a flg to have A great and honored name. I’m rich enough If I but have A luxury or two And leisure time enough to do The things I like to do. Let others have the glory and The Joys of swollen wealth; I’m satisfied If I but have Enough, and time and health. Others may tread ambition’s path If it delights them to; I only wafcit a chance to do The things I like to do.
