	Power exists. Knowledge makes it accessible. Wisdom governs its use. Rights establish boundaries; where another’s rights begin, ours end. Truth is upheld despite its cost. Labour and service are obligations of dignity. We accept that we will fail at times, and we pursue growth without self-deception. We carry one another forward in wisdom. What we have earned through sacrifice must be preserved, for the years given to build it will not return, and when we are gone, it must still stand.
