There is a time when we must firmly choose the course which we will follow or the endless drift of events will make the decision for us.

When Honor's sun declines, and Wealth takes wings, Then Learning shines, the best of precious things.

We rise in glory as we sink in pride.

The march to our duty here, not merely to ourselves, but to our surroundings, must proceed. God wills it.

Let us seize the special opportunity that is ours to act boldly and decisively at a time when the eyes of our fellow citizens, both present and future, are upon us.

You return and again take the proper course, guided by what? - By the picture in mind of the place you are headed for.

Everything rises and falls on leadership.
