The tree laden with fruits always bends low. If you wish to be great, be lowly and meek.

Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.

The world is impermanent. [All things change. Knowing this helps you see the end of any difficulty and thereby have hope.]
