“Over a year since I have written in you, you dear old brown book! I hope you will forgive me, but I must ask more forgiveness for my neglect of myself. For in this year that has passed I had laid down for myself two commandments. These are the two.
1. Respect thyself.
2. Be worthy of thine own respect.
If I live up to those two I shall need no Ten Commandments.”
