A good man would never harm or oppress another. A good man would share his last morsel of food with others in need, and die of hunger when he no longer has any food -- instead of cheat or steal from others to survive. Selflessness. Humility. Truthfulness. These are the three marks of an honorable man.

Quote
ForgetThe honors handed out, the lists of winners.Forget the certificates, bright trophies youCould have, should have, maybe won.Remind yourself you never wanted them.When the spotlight briefly shone on you,You stepped back into darkness,Let the empty stage receive the light,The black floor suddenly less black—Scuff-marks, dust, blue tape—the coneOf light so perfect, slicing silently that perfectSilent darkness, and you, hidden in that wider dark,Your refusal a kind of gratitude at last.
