&quot; Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, 

 These three alone lead life to sovereign power, 

 Yet not for power (power of herself 

 Would come uncalled for), but to live by law, 

 Acting the law we live by without fear ; 

 And, because right is right, to follow right 

 Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence.&quot; 



TENNYSON.
