This I Believe by Robert A. Heinlein

"I am not going to talk about religious beliefs but about matters

so obvious that it has gone out of style to mention them. I

believe in my neighbors. I know their faults, and I know that

their virtues far outweigh their faults. "Take Father Michael

down our road a piece. I'm not of his creed, but I know that

goodness and charity and lovingkindness shine in his daily

actions. I believe in Father Mike. If I'm in trouble, I'll go to

him."

"My next-door neighbor is a veterinary doctor. Doc will get out

of bed after a hard day to help a stray cat. No fee--no prospect

of a fee--I believe in Doc.

"I believe in my townspeople. You can know on any door in our

town saying, 'I'm hungry,' and you will be fed. Our town is no

exception. I've found the same ready charity everywhere. But for

the one who says, 'To heck with you - I got mine,' there are a

hundred, a thousand who will say, "Sure, pal, sit down."

"I know that despite all warnings against hitchhikers I can step

up to the highway, thumb for a ride and in a few minutes a car or

a truck will stop and someone will say, 'Climb in Mac - how far

you going?'

"I believe in my fellow citizens. Our headlines are splashed with

crime yet for every criminal there are 10,000 honest, decent,

kindly men. If it were not so, no child would live to grow up.

Business could not go on from day to day. Decency is not news. It

is buried in the obituaries, but is a force stronger than crime.

I believe in the patient gallentry of nurses and the tedious

sacrifices of teachers. I believe in the unseen and unending

fight against desperate odds that goes on quietly in almost every

home in the land.

"I believe in the honest craft of workmen. Take a look around

you. There never were enough bosses to check up on all that work.

From Independence Hall to the Grand Coulee Dam, these things were

built level and square by craftsmen who were honest in their

bones.
