I'm a teacher, incase you didn't know. Not just by profession, but in every aspect of my life. I love words. I love to understand them and feel them deeply.
Deeply held morality, a code of ethics is actually sexy AF to me. Every man I've deeply loved has had one. I have a habit of looking around and reading the words people surround themselves with. If I visit your home and you have something written on a plaque you better bet I'm reading it.
I'd like to share the words that my Master has chosen to surround himself with... had I known nothing else about Him aside from these words, he'd have been someone I wanted to get to know.
The World Needs Men
The world needs men who cannot be bought;
whose word is their bond;
who put character above wealth;
who possess opinions and a will;
who are larger than their vocations;
who do not hesitate to take chances.
The world needs Men
who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
who will be honest in small things as in great things;
who will make no compromise with wrong;
whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires.
The world needs People
who will not say they do it “because everyone else does it;”
who are true to their friends through good report and evil report, in adversity as well as in prosperity;
who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success;
who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular, who can say “no” with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says “yes.”
Have I mentioned lately exactly how much I love this Man? When I entered His home it was sitting laminated on His bedside... before I left that time it was hanging above the same bedside. This time, it will be framed. The world does need those Men, but at least I know He is One.
