Goodness builds on goodness in store.
What makes someone “good”?
Compassion, empathy, integrity, and kindness are just a few
examples of what makes someone “good.”

Emissaries of Peace, in acrylic by AV Rotor
1. We do not have the time, indeed an alibi
to indolence and loafing, letting time pass by.
2. As we undervalue ourselves, so do others
undervalue us. Lo, to us all little brothers.
3. Self-doubt at the start is often necessary
to seek perfection of the trade we carry.
4. What is more mean than envy or indolence
but the two themselves riding on insolence.
5. The worst kind of persecution occurs in the mind,
that of the body we can often undermine.
“There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness, and truth.”
- Leo Tolstoy
6. How seldom, if at all, do we weigh our neighbors
the way we weigh ourselves with the same favors?
7. Friendship that we share to others multiplies
our compassion and love where happiness lies.
8. Evil is evil indeed - so with its mirror,
while goodness builds on goodness in store.
9. That others may learn and soon trust you,
show them you're trustworthy, kind and true.
10. Kindness and gladness, these however small
are never, never put to waste at all.

11. One little smoke tells the difference,
Like a faint pulse is life's reference.
12. When the skies cry and tears fall.
The grass is greener, so with the soul.
13. If I'm responsible for what I tame,
Would I have the choice of only the lame?
14. Take from the ant or stork,
Patience is silence at work.
15. To endure pain of hatred,
A leader's wisdom is dared.
