When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou have passed through. Forbearance is the root of all quietness and assurance forever.
Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.
When the soul is understood and attended to, we can be liberated from hurry, preoccupation, unsatisfied desires, and chronic discontent.
Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.
The overcoming of adversity and, ultimately, denying it the rite of passage, has been a constant and perpetual motive throughout my life.
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good.
If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
Do not follow vain desires; for verily he who prospers is preserved from lust, greed and anger.
