This post is mostly for my personal reference so yeah :) Don't mind the wordy parts :/
The world needs men and womenWho cannot be bought;
Whose word is their bond;
Who put character above wealth;
Who possess opinions and a strong will;
Who are larger than their vocations;
Who do not hesitate to take risks;
Who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
Who will be as honest in small affairs as in greater;
Who will make no compromise with wrong;
Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
Who will not say they do it because 'everyone else does it';
Who are true to their friends through good and bad,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 afraid or ashamed to stand for the truth when it is unpopular;
Who can say 'no' with emphasis,although the rest of the world say 'yes'.

This is my understanding of the quote by Jhon G. Riefenbaker: "Freedom is the right to be wrong,not the right to do wrong." But first you must do wrong to later realize that you were wrong.Freedom must exist with a balance.
