I believe in education, patriotism, justice, and loyalty.

I believe in civil and religious liberty and in freedom of thought and speech.

I believe in chivalry that protects the weak and preserves veneration and love for parents, and in the physical strength that makes that chivalry effective.

I believe in that clear thinking and straight speaking which conquers envy, slander, and fear.

I believe in the trilogy of faith, hope, and charity, and in the dignity of labor; finally, I believe that through these and education true democracy may come to the world..
