"Don't talk about what a good man is like. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius
Talk is cheap.
Words are wind.
Actions speak louder than words.
It is easier said than done.
Don't talk about what a good person you are.
What good you're going to deliver into the world.
How many people will prosper from your great work.
Just talking about it doesn't make it so.
Especially if your actions do not match.
Leaders do not rely on the socialising of their abilities.
Role models do not tell people how great they are.
Inspirational figures do not simply motivate through their speech.
They simply act.
They act with purity.
They act with good intention.
They act with integrity.
Regardless of whether anyone is watching.
This is the mark of a good human being.
Everyone has the responsibility to represent the human race in the right way.
Honour the privilege of life.
Be a good human being, period.
Strive to live, live to strive.
