Alas, my lantern has run out of oil.
Those who speak and then act on their words.
Those who believe in what they profess to believe and do not pretend to know things which they do not.
Those who value conviction, virtue, honor, integrity, passion and principled action
Those who desire less and take comfort in simple pleasures; those who prefer the companionship of honest friends to displays of decadent and self-indulgent excess
Those who value uncompromising sobriety, steadiness of temper and with it: reasoned wisdom
Those who feel an affinity for temperance, prudence, justice and courage
Those who love knowledge and learn for the sake of learning, not to get a degree, not to pass a test, not to become an “informed consumer”
Those who value intelligence, brutally honest conversation and the rejection of things which are irrational
Those who love purely, truly and sincerely
Those with something to die for and duties to live for
Those who do not speak unless there is something to say
Those who crush injustice when they see it and do not tolerate slander, degeneration or depravity, who do not pull friends down but raise them up to their full potential
Those who feel sick to their stomach when they hear about how so-and-so seduced and then abandoned/abused so-and-so, those who feel inspired to be ever the more magnanimous, just, charitable and loving after hearing it
Those who feel a flame burning deep inside
Those who understand where these words come from
