Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.

Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.
