Walk the path of your life in such a way as to live - so that on this beautiful path neither you nor anyone you encounter on it will be touched by either dirt or death. Look for good everywhere and, having discovered it, pull it out, no matter how deeply it is hidden: it has nothing to be ashamed of or hide. Protect and grow even the smallest grains of humanity: this is what resists death, although it is itself transitory. Discover the bright, pure in everything, that which cannot be stained. If in someone's heart virtue, persecuted by universal mockery, is hidden in fear and sorrow, encourage it. Do not give in to superficial impressions: they are unworthy of clear eyes and a pure heart. Do not subordinate yourself to anyone, but do not subordinate yourself to anyone either. Remember: every person is a likeness of yourself. Anyone's fault is your fault, and all innocents share their innocence with you. Despise evil and baseness, but not base and evil people, understand this. Don’t be ashamed to be kind and gentle, but if ever on the path of your life the turn comes to kill, kill and do not repent. Walk the path of your life in such a way as to live - so that on this wonderful path you do not increase the suffering and sorrow of the world, but greet it with a smile boundless joy and a secret.

William Saroyan

Don't be ahead of others in receiving awards. Do not be behind others in doing good deeds. When receiving from others, do not take more than your due. In good deeds, do not do less than is available to you.
