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.
TENNYSON: "Enone."

[Quoted by Mr. Bayard in his Phi Beta Kappa Oration, Harvard University, June 28, 1877.]
