I am thankful that in me there is nothing of that spirit.

When a thing is sacred to me it is impossible for me to be irreverent toward it.

I cannot call to mind a single instance where I have ever been irreverent, except toward the things which were sacred to other people.

Am I in the right?
I think so.

But I ask no one to take my unsupported word; no, look at the dictionary; let the dictionary decide.
