When I started my last business, I didn’t receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can’t handle that pressure.

Men desire to have some share in the management of public affairs chiefly on account of the importance which it gives them.

If your best efforts bring less than desirable results because your mental health is suffering, I hope you know you are still worthy and doing all that you can. You deserve to applaud yourself.

My dear child, if you desire to be free from the cycle of birth and death, then abandon the objects of sense gratification as poison. Drink instead the nectar of forbearance, upright conduct, mercy, cleanliness and truth.
