This is my Creed
    To live each day as though I may never see the morrow come;
to be strict with myself, but patient and lenient with others;
to give the advantage, but never ask for it;
to be kind to all, but kinder to the less fortunate;
to respect all honest employment; to remember always that my life is made easier and better by the service of others, and to be grateful.

    To be tolerant and never arrogant; to treat all men with equal courtesy;
to be true to my own in all things; to make as much as I can of my strength and the days opportunity; and to meet dissappointment without resentment.

    To be friendly and helpful whenever possible; to do without display of temper of bitterness all that fair conduct demands; to keep my money free from cunning or the shame of a hard bargin; to govern my actions so that I may feel neither reproach nor misunderstanding, nor words of malice or envy and to maintain, at whatever temporary cost, my own self respect.

    This is my creed and my philosophy. I have failed it often and shall fail it many times again; but by these teachings I have lived to the best of my ability, laughed often, loved, suffered, grieved, found consolation and have prospered. By friendships I have been enriched, and the home I have built has been happy.
