"In the final analysis, what I do, what I say, what I become is of my own choosing. Reasons may satisfy others, but excuses and rationalizations cannot be offered to the image I face in my mirror. I must resolve, therefore, that whatever the circumstances I will do the right as I see it, and to the best of my ability. Having done that - and whether success or failure result from my efforts - I can walk produly, secure in the knowledge that I have done my best." 5/20/64
