Do you pray at the Temple of Knowledge
or the Temple of Entertainment?
Is my purpose to entertain or to teach?
Our life is short and full of pain
so I will build a tent of wonder, magic and humor
filled with acts of physical dexterity.
Its purpose will be to bring joy to children
and to their families.
A circus is a place of humanity,
of financial and emotional exchange.
Our life is short and full of pain
so I will build a great library
I will bring people together to study and learn
from mankind's accumulated knowledge.
Organized knowledge is power and
a library is a lasting gift.
Its purpose will be to bring literature and wisdom to children
and to their families.
A library is a place of humanity,
of education and philosophical exchange.
So, given the choice,
would you build a circus or a library?
