~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I shall never bring disgrace to my city, nor shall I ever desert my comrades in the ranks; but I, both alone and with my many comrades, shall fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I shall willingly pay heed to whoever renders judgment with wisdom and shall obey both the laws already established and whatever laws the people in their wisdom shall establish.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I, alone and with my comrades, shall resist anyone who destroys the laws or disobeys them.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I shall not leave my city any less but rather greater than I found it.
