if need be, but primarily to live for.
Never
too bold, never too forward, ever humble, ever observing the principles of gentlemen.
To
keep my soul pure, my mind active and my body healthy.
To
give of myself and my substance for all worthy causes, to be kind and generous
to all in need, regardless of race or creed.
Ever
to honor and love my parents. To be considerate of my elders and to respect
age.
Always
to observe the tenets of my faith; ever to do justice,love, mercy, and walk
humbly with the Lord my G-d.
A
