“To teach the advance man of our true selves.
It’s roots are inward, but it’s fruit is outward.
It is our best friend of our worst enemy.
It is more honest and more consistent than our words.
It is never content, until it is expressed.
It is the librarian of our past,
It is the speaker of our present,
It is the prophet of our future.”
