TBird55 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The Auburn Creed I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work. I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully. I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men. I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities. I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all. I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all. I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God." And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it. -George Petrie (1943) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across it in "Tribe of Mentors" “The fundamental cause of the trouble in the modern world today is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt" Bertrand Russell 1872-1970 Over a year ago, but it feels like this last year and a half feels like it's really proved this point.
