or that political platform and re

privilege few political partisans
or church adherents will allow us.
My belief is, gentle reader, that
you have just as much right to
think your thoughts as Martin
Luther, John Calvin, John Wes
ley, Alexander Campbell, Napo
leon, Cromwell, Washington, Mc
Kinley, Roosevelt, or Woodrow
Wilson, and by the same token,
since none o f them has held a
c o p y r i g h t on brains, your
thoughts may be just as sound
and as near the Eternal Truth as
theirs.
The greatest truths have been
caught by the simplest minds
and transplanted into deeper soil,
and most generally the one who
does the transplanting gets cred
it for discovering the seed.
Pass this truth along— It is
better to follow your own thought
than to bind yourself unre
servedly to a life bounded by
the thoughts o f any other man.
You must see with your own
eyes to understand color; you
must hear with your own ears to
appreciate harmony; you must
feel with your own nerves to con
ceive o f pain; and you must think,
understand and know with your
own intellect to comprehend life.
