If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, give heed to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed.

Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.

Be yourself. And if you're not accepted by your family, there will be people who will accept you.

All intelligence offices of any worth will cover themselves by saying 'probably,' 'possibly,' 'if,' 'maybe,' 'perhaps,' ... They have no information as such. What they're trying to do is make an intelligent guess.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

If you give yourself to your task at once, you won't have to do it twice.
