Arr, me hearties! On George Washington’s birthday in 1892, old scallywag Grover Cleveland gave some wise words to the young lads 'n lasses at the University of Michigan. He pleaded with 'em to hold dear their conscience and heart, despite them landlubbers who claim such things be weak and childish. 'Twas a grand start to a presidential journey, if ye ask me!

Arr, mateys! On the day George Washington's birth be celebrated in the year 1892, a fine gentleman by the name of Grover Cleveland, who had once been the President of this fair land, stood afore a group of young lads and lasses graduatin' from the University of Michigan. And what words did he offer to these fresh-faced scallywags? He spoke of a strong conscience and a pure heart, me hearties!

Old Grover, he said, "Take with ye a faith, me lads and lasses! A faith in the worth and power of a good conscience and a pure heart!" For ye see, there be some out there who think these things be weak and childish, not needed in the grand battle of life. But Grover, he be tellin' these young'uns to never give in to such scurvy ideas!

Now, me buckos, this speech be quite the spectacle! Some say it be the most peculiar way to begin a presidential campaign. Imagine that, a pirate like Grover Cleveland, a man who had sailed the treacherous seas of politics, standin' before a crowd of eager learners and speakin' in such a manner! It surely be a sight to behold!

So, me hearties, let us take a moment to ponder the wisdom of old Grover. Let us remember the importance of a good conscience and a pure heart in our own journeys through life. And let us never yield one iota to those scoundrels who think such things be of no use in the struggle of manhood with the harsh realities of this world!
