O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.

Until the juice ferments a while in the cask, it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright, you must do a little work.

What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.

Know that a word suddenly shot from the tongue is like an arrow shot from the bow. Son, that arrow won't turn back on its way; you must damn the torrent at its source.

Loosen the bonds of avarice from your hands and neck.

When the remedy you have offered only increases the disease, then leave him who will not be cured, and tell your story to someone who seeks the truth.

Beware! Don't allow yourself to do what you know is wrong, relying on the thought, Later I will repent and ask God's forgiveness.
