"When you fall down, pick yourself up and start over again. You are an ever-unfolding soul temporarily enrolled in the school of life. Each step forward leads on to a higher level.

"A stained-glass window is illumined when the sun shines through, and its brilliant colors glow in a magic dance of light. The human soul, though made up of superior elements, will only reach fullness when permeated by divine clarity. Like a sparkling diamond, the human soul also becomes a shining star when perfected through suffering and dedication to the service of others."

But the traveler will thwart his pace if he allows the thorns and gravels which pave the way to hurt his feet."
