ly write what they are as quotations
of their ancestors.
If they are frank, and desire to be
just. they will confess that as quota
tons from their ancestors they have
permitted themselves to become badly
garbled.
They will admit they are not quota
lions from their ancestors, because they
have permitted false standards, foolish
customs, lax discipline and parental
indulgence to so twist and turn them
that the original sentiment is distorted
or wholly lost.
Being just, and DESTROYS to quote

my chin as near to the sky as | can
get it, Then I'll turn my head very
slowly first to one side and then to the
other, stretching and lifting the neck,
and / shall cultivate the haughtiest and
top-loftiest expression, not because l
feel that way, but because | refuse to
admit the existence of more than one
chin.
