　　I am convinced that this is the safest course for your liberty, your dignity, and your happiness. I affect not reserves which I do not feel.

The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity.

　　depository 储藏之地，depository of breast 胸膛之内

　　cause of truth 真理事业

　　本句释义：动机，应存于我心;见解，向大家坦陈，请诸位明鉴。我展现观念的方式，但愿不致玷污真理事业。(P.S. 如此放低姿态，致敬先贤!)
