ANST - Restraint, level heads, and cool tempers

[karl muller]

Sir, it takes a big man to look at himself and find fault. And then to stand 
before all and acknowledge these faults. What you have said and done proves 
that you are a great man. For that I salute you and admire you. May we all 
learn from this example, look at ourselves, and be honest with what we find. 
To you, sir, I say Vivat!

Your servant,
Karl Muller
