Things sung by the SIPB PowerPC:
CIA Credo
We are the Central Intelligence Agency.
We produce timely and high quality intelligence for the President and
Government of the United States.
We provide objective and unbiased evaluations and are always open to
new perceptions and ready to challenge conventional wisdom.
We perform special intelligence tasks at the request of the President.
We conduct our activities and ourselves according to the highest
standards of integrity, morality and honor and according to the spirit
and letter of our law and Constitution.
We measure our success by our contribution to the protection and
enhancement of American values, security and national interest.
We believe our people are the Agency's most important resource. We
seek the best and work to make them better. We subordinate our desire
for public recognition to the need for confidentiality. We strive for
continuing professional improvement. We give unfailing loyalty to each
other and to our common purpose.
We seek through our leaders to stimulate initiative, a commitment to
excellence and a propensity for action; to protect and reward Agency
personnel for their special responsibilities, contributions, and
sacrifices; to promote a sense of mutual trust and shared
responsibility.
We get our inspiration and commitment to excellence from the
inscription in our foyer: And ye shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free.

therese (Therese):
Go placidly among the noise and haste, remember what peace
there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with with all persons. Speak your truth
quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and
ignorant, they too have their story - Avoid loud and aggressive
persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare
yourself with others, there will be greater and lesser persons
than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans -
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a
real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise
caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere, life is full
of heroism - Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass - Take kindly
to the counsel of they years, gracefully surrending the things
of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome
discipline, be gentle with yourself - You are a child of the
universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right
to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
universe is unfolding as it should - Therefore be at peace with
God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with
your soul - With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is
still a beautiful world. Be careful, strive to be happy.
- Max Ehrman
