I believe that a clean life and a tender heart are worth more to this
world than all the faith and all the gods of Time.
I believe that this world needs all our best efforts and earnest
endeavors twenty-four hours every day.
I believe that if our labors were needed in another world we should be
in another world; so long as we are in this one I believe in making the
best and the most of the materials we have on hand.
I believe that fear of a god cripples men's intellects more than any
other influence. I believe that Humanity needs and should have all our
time, efforts, love, worship, and tenderness.
