"A man's worth is within him. It is in his mind and heart. It is in his sympathies, his loves, his motives, his aims and ambitions. It is in the truth of his words, in the nobility of his thoughts, in the rectitude of his conduct. It lies in his courageous obedience to conscience, doing always that which he knows to be right."
