I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
Observe good faith and justice towards all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
To such men I shall cheerfully yield the palm of genius and talents to serve our common country.
None can serve it with purer intentions than I have done or with a more disinterested zeal.
