Today, I am going to give two examinations; one in trigonometry and one in honesty.
I hope you will pass them both, but if you must fail one, let it be trigonometry. For there are many
good people in this world who cannot pass an examination in trigonometry;
but there are no good people in this world who cannot pass an examination in honesty.
