Granted The Endless Variations Of Moral Customs, Still The Essential Standards Persist. As In A Scientific Laboratory, All Else May Change But The Standards Are Unalterable- Disinterested Love Of Truth, Fidelity To Facts, Accuracy In Measurement, Exactness Of Verification-so, In Life As A Whole, The Towering Ethical Criteria Remain Unshaken. Falsehood Is Never Better Than Truth, Theft Better Than Than Honesty, Treachery Better Than Loyalty, Cowardice Better Than Courage.
