“To remain in nature always sweet and simple and humble, and therefore strong.
“To open ourselves fully and to keep ourselves pure and clean as fit channels for the Divine Power to work through us.
“To turn toward and keep our faces always to the light.
“To do our own thinking, listening quietly to the opinions of others, and to be sufficiently men and women to act always upon our own convictions.
“To do our duty as we see it, regardless of the opinions of others, seeming gain or loss, temporary blame or praise.
“To play the part of neither knave nor fool by attempting to judge another, but to give that same time to living more worthily ourselves.
“To get up immediately when we stumble, face again to the light, and travel on without wasting even a moment in regret.
“To love all things and to stand in awe or fear of nothing save our own wrongdoing.
“To recognize the good lying at the heart of all people, of all things, waiting for expression, all in its own good way and time.
“To love the fields and the wild flowers, the stars, the far-open sea, the soft, warm earth, and to live much with them alone, but to love struggling and weary men and women and every pulsing living creature better.
