karl.

happy birthday to you, karl. 

"i have been asked what I mean by my word of honor. i will tell you. place me behind prison walls-- ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another i will escape; but stand me on a floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. can I get out of the circle? no. never! i would die first."

- karl g. maeser
