The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking. No one ever lost his honor, except he who had it not. An honest man is not the worse because a dog barks at him. I am not bound to win, I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it. Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage. An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded. Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.
