Resolution
The meeting ended with the acceptance of a six point resolution:
- As soon as there were enough Faroese schoolbooks available, Faroese should be used as an educational language in schools.
- In history, the emphasis must be on Faroese national history.
- In religion, all Danish rote learning should be abolished and the subject matter rendered in Faroese.
- Priests must be free to use Faroese in and outside the Church.
- Faroese should be used for all official ends and purposes.
- Finally, the resolution stressed the necessity of establishing a Faroese Folk High School.

Famous quotes containing the word resolution:
“We often see malefactors, when they are led to execution, put on resolution and a contempt of death which, in truth, is nothing else but fearing to look it in the face—so that this pretended bravery may very truly be said to do the same good office to their mind that the blindfold does to their eyes.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Had I been less resolved to work, I would perhaps had made an effort to begin immediately. But since my resolution was formal and before twenty four hours, in the empty slots of the next day where everything fit so nicely because I was not yet there, it was better not to choose a night at which I was not well-disposed for a debut to which the following days proved, alas, no more propitious.... Unfortunately, the following day was not the exterior and vast day which I had feverishly awaited.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
