Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.
No ashes are lighter than those of incense, and few things burn out sooner.
For even in dreams a good deed is not lost.
If you set out to do a good deed, you may do a hundred small kindnesses on the way.
It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life.
I abhor a hoe. I am fond of flowers but not of dirt, and had rather buy them than cultivate them.
Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
There's nothing more nourishing to the spirit than doing what you feel called to do.
I'm the least spiritual person in the world. I can't even abide a smelly candle. I know it's meant to make me relax, and that immediately makes my hackles rise.
