The Shield of the White Knights
It is a mighty shield.
It is a big shield.
It will protect any man, any soul
who holds it.
No shield is bigger.
No shield is mightier.
No shield requires more,
more strength, more courage
to raise.
But there is no other shield.
It is the only shield:
The Shield of Honesty.
Honesty is the first chapter in the Book of Wisdom.
Quote from Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
