From Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations":
“Keep thyself therefore, truly simple, good, sincere, grave, free from all ostentation, a lover of that which is just, religious, kind, tender-hearted, strong and vigorous to undergo anything that becomes thee.”
This is a high bar to set for oneself, but no one ever complained of being "too good". It's a goal worth shooting for, even if it is a lifetime in the accomplishing.
