Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.

So many people glorify and romanticize 'busy.' I do not. I value purpose. I believe in resting in reason and moving in passion. If you’re always busy/moving, you will miss important details. I like the mountain. Still, but when it moves, lands shift and earth quakes.

A single profane expression betrays a man's low breeding.

Sin is free, or you cannot make sin out of it.
