To men of honor, it is not easy. The battle of the spirit must be fought among our fellows. We Rotarians do not want to be easy. We must serve our people.

We all realize, as Rotarians, that poor, weak mortal man can pluck his feet firmly upon this earth, but he can also lift his eyes to the stars and grow more constantly in stature. So is our opportunity to grow in the life of Rotary: thinking fundamentally, we can conceive internationally. It will give us an opportunity to grow within ourselves, seeing things in an entirely different light than we ever saw them before. We sometimes think that our puny efforts do not move in harmony and do not accomplish results that we desire; but constant practice, even in a small way, will grow to proportions and make a realization of Rotary ethics throughout the world.
