"I vowed to summon up a powerful and unconquerable desire for the salvation of all beings and never to falter in my efforts." (WND, 240)I have gloriously won
together with all of you;
still I press on to fulfill my vow,
my life a paean
to life's infinite potential.
The great French author Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote: "Remember your proud and solemn [ideal]. Stay true to it. There lies liberty; there lies salvation." A noble life is one dedicated to a noble vow.
