MY CREED
by: Dean Alfange
"I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon.
I seek opportunity to develop whatever talents God gave me - not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by
having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and
to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive
for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;
the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade
freedom for beneficience nor my dignity for a handout. I will never
cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat. It is my
heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and to act
myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly
and say - 'This, with God's help, I have done.' All this is what it
means to be an American."
