I Shall Live This Day As If

The Master Of A Single Trade Can Support A Family. The Master Of Seven Trades Cannot Support Himself. The Wind Is Never For The Sailor Who Knows Not To What Port He Is Bound.

No, My Son, Do Not Aspire For Wealth And Labor Not Only To Be Rich. Strive Instead For Happiness, To Be Loved And To Love, And Most Important To Acquire Peace Of Mind And Serenity.

And So Long As I Can Laugh, Never Will I Be Poor. This Then, Is One Of Nature's Greatest Gifts And I Will Waste It No More.

Failure Will Never Overtake Me If My Determination To Succeed Is Strong Enough.

I Will Make Love My Greatest Weapon And None On Whom I Call Can Defend Against Its Force. My Reasoning They May Counter; My Speech They May Distrust; My Apparel They May Disapprove; My Face They May Reject; And Even My Bargains May Cause Them Suspicion; Yet My Love Will Melt All Hearts Liken To The Sun Whose Rays Soften The Coldest Clay. I Will Greet This Day With Love In My Heart.
