Self-trust is the first secret of success.

A skilful man reads his dreams for his selfknowledge; yet not the details, but the quality.

The whole world is an omen and a sign. Why look so wistfully in a corner? Man is the Image of God. Why run after a ghost or a dream? The voice of divination resounds everywhere and runs to waste unheard, unregarded, as the mountains echo with the bleatings of cattle.

Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.

Is there a difference? Yes. We are in harmony with nature, but never at peace.
