There are four character traits among people.
Some say, "mine is mine and yours is yours" (average, or some say, Sodom)
"mine is yours and yours is mine" (peasant)
"mine is yours and yours is yours" (saintly)
"mine is mine and yours is mine" (scoundrel)

Three Things
05:07

The world rests on three things:
On Justice, On Truth, On Peace.
As it is written, "With truth, justice, and peace
Shall you judge in your gates" (Zechariah 8:16)

Now is Eternal

Time is fleeting; now is eternal.
Discipline yourself to attention,
For the alternative is despair.

Silence

Be the First
04:22
|

Be the first to extend greetings to every human being. Be a tail to lions rather than a head to foxes.
