Be kind to yourself and thoughtful to others

Pride is an honest measure of one's self worth.

Only the bravest can sit quietly, close their eyes and look inward where they just might meet their soul.

If you close your eyes and really listen you will see the truth.

Smartass Disciple: Master, please show me the way to the enlightenment.
Master of Stupidity: Walk with me! [but I won't let you try to surpass me].

Think of the old cliché about the mind being 'an excellent servant but a terrible master'. This, like many clichés, so lame & banal on the surface, actually expresses a great & terrible truth.
