The universe is my way.
Love is my law.
Peace is my shelter.
Experience is my school.
Obstacle is my lesson.
Difficulty is my stimulant.
Pain is my warning.
Work is my blessing.
Balance is my attitude.
(The Voice of Silence is my guide.)

"They taught that God does not require us to achieve any of the good tasks that humanity must pursue. What is required of us is that we not stop trying."
