![]() We have a lot of anxieties, and one cancels out another very often. If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others. Why kick the man downstream who can't put the parts together because the parts really weren't designed properly? Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself. Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow. What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside of you. Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love. A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass. The ink of the scholar and the blood of a martyr are of equal value in heaven. Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty. Honesty prospers in every condition of life. The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living. To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign. |
