All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
