The Wind Is Never For The Sailor

Always Strive To Make The Next Hour Better Than This One.

True Happiness Lies Within You.

I Seek Constantly To Improve My Manners And Graces, For They Are The Sugar To Which All Are Attracted.

Never Will I Pray For The Material Things Of The World. I Am Not Calling To A Servant To Bring Me Food. I Am Not Ordering An Innkeeper To Provide Me With Room. Never Will I Seek Delivery Of Gold, Love, Good Health, Petty Victories, Fame, Success, Or Happiness. Only For Guidance Will I Pray, That I May Be Shown The Way To Acquire These Things, And My Prayer Will Always Be Answered.

Let Your Actions Always Speak For You, But Be Forever On Guard Against The Terrible Traps Of False Pride And Conceit That Can Halt Your Progress. The Next Time You Are Tempted To Boast, Just Place Your Fist In A Full Pail Of Water, And When You Remove It, The Hole Remaining Will Give You A Correct Measure Of Your Importance.
