I shall do less whenever i shall believe what i am doing hurts the cause and i shall do more whenever i shall believe doing more will help the cause. i shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors and i shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.

I believe that prayer in public schools should be voluntary. it is difficult for me to see how religious exercises can be a requirement in public schools, given our constitutional requirement of separation of church and state. i feel that the highly desirable goal of religious education must be principally the responsibility of church and home. i do not believe that public education should show any hostility toward religion, and neither should it inhibit voluntary participation, if it does not interfere with the educational process.
