No individual is lost and no nation is refused prosperity and success if foundations of their thoughts and actions rest upon piety and godliness, and upon truth and justice.
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
The intricacies of spiritual philosophy and theologies are just a thought within Emptiness.
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
