… is from page 388 of my GMU Econ and Mercatus Center colleague Peter Boettke’s 2012 volume, Living Economics:

Truth in economics, as in all scientific endeavors, ultimately matters much more than popularity and power. And the task of teaching that truth in economics to generations of students is a worthy and honorable vocation. In fact, it is a calling that demands our most careful attention and dedication to the craft of scholarship and teaching. The best economists read widely and deeply, think hard, speak directly, and write clearly.

DBx: Yes. Pictured here is one of history’s greatest examples of such an excellent economist.
