Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine is one of the defining textbooks of the field. Named after Tinsley Harrison who was the original editor-in-chief, the first ten editions of the book carried this amazing quote by Dr. Harrison:
"No greater opportunity or obligation can fall the lot of a human being than to be a physician. In the care of suffering he needs technical skill, scientific knowledge and human understanding. He who uses these with courage, humility, and wisdom will provide a unique service to his fellow man and will build an enduring edifice of character within himself. The physician should ask of his destiny no more than this and he should be content with no less."
