Beware the vanity of Ozymandias; proud works are soon level’d by Time. In our Republick, office is no diadem, but a trust deriv’d from a free People. Let “the name of AMERICAN… exalt the just pride of patriotism,” not the glory of one.

Take heed: the spirit of Ozymandias buildeth proud works the sands soon level. In this Republic, office is no crown but a trust from a free people. Let us have faith that right makes might, and govern “with malice toward none; with charity for all.”

Beware the spirit of Ozymandias, which raiseth proud works that time will lay low. In a republick, authority is but a sacred trust, to be us’d with modesty and for the common weal. “The name of American… must always exalt the just pride of patriotism,” not the vanity of one.
