Let me strive every moment of my life, to make myself better and better,
to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it.

with no regard for anything but justice.
Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage.
Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do.
Let me do right to all, and wrong no man.
