I AM

From the Philalethes (Weekend Thoughts)

I am – the power of self-knowledge;
I think – the power to investigate;
I know – the power to master facts;
I feel – the power to appreciate, to value, to love;
I wonder – the spirit of reverence, curiosity, worship;
I see – the power of insight, imagination, vision;
I believe – the power of adventurous faith;
I can – the power to act and the skill to accomplish;
I ought – the power of conscience, the moral imperative;
I will – will power, loyalty to duty, consecration;
I serve – the power to be useful, devotion to a cause.

–George Fiske
