A word of advice


In the time of your life, live so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life that your life touches.
Seek goodness everywhere and when it is found, bring it out of the hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.
Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are the things that hold death and must pass away.
Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption.
Encourage virtue and whatever heart it may have driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of this world.
Ignore the obvious, for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart.
Be the inferior to no man, nor of any man be the superior.
Remember that every man is a variation of yourself, no man's guilt is yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart.
Despise evil and ungodliness, but not men of ungodliness or evil, these understand. Have no shame in being kindly and gentle, but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret.
In the time of your life, live so that, in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it
