NOBILITY
True worth is in being, not seeming—
In doing each day that goes by,
Some little good—not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by,
For whatever men say in their blindness And spite of the fancies of youth, There’s nothing so kingly as kindness And nothing so royal as truth.

COLLECT
Keep us, oh God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things, make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight forward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great common human heart of us all; and Oh, Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.
— Mary Stewart.
THE AMERICAN'S CREED
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, whose just powers are de-rived from the consent of the governed; a de-mocracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable, established upon those prin-ciples of freedom, equality, justice and hu-manity for which American patriots sacri-ficed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my coun-try to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its Laws; to respect its Flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
O O
SALUTE TO THE FLAG
“I pledge allegience to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
A TOAST TO CARY CIRCLE
Cary Circle knows the circle is the sign Forever linked with qualities divine.
Unity, loyalty, high thoughts bless With the circle’s endlessness.
Chorus
From the circle’s perfect standard May our conduct never vary.
Let the toast go swinging around With a glorious ringing sound
Here’s to Cary, to Cary.
Cary Circle knows the circle is the seal,
Of all our aims, the good, the true, the real.
Let us not carelessly mar nor break
The pattern that we strive to make.
— May Williams Ward.
