"I desire to make it one of my chief petitions to have that grace to be poor in spirit. I will ever walk humbly before my God, and meekly, mildly and gently towards all men...I do resolve to give myself - my life, my wits, my health, my wealth - to the service of my God and Savior, who, by giving himself for me and to me, deserves whatsoever I am or can be, to be at his commandment and for his glory."
-Gov. John Winthrop, age 24 -
