_Elbert Hubbard_
¶ I wish to be simple, honest, natural, frank, clean in mind and clean
in body, unaffected—ready to say “I do not know,” if so it be—to meet
all men on an absolute equality—to face any obstacle and meet every
difficulty unafraid and unabashed ❦ I wish to live without hate, whim,
jealousy, envy or fear. I wish others to live their lives, too—up to
their highest, fullest and best. To that end I pray that I may never
meddle, dictate, interfere, give advice that is not wanted, nor assist
when my services are not needed. If I can help people, I will do it by
giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire,
let it be by example, inference and suggestion, rather than by injunction
and dictation. I desire to Radiate Life ❦ ❦ ❦
