If you think evil, don’t say it. If you say evil, don’t write it, and if you write evil, don’t be surprised. unless you want that.

keep up.  be strong.  stay calm.  slow to anger.  quick to compassion.  always honest.  sometimes silent.  quickly say thanks.  do your best.  regret nothing.  avoid guilt.  forgive others quickly.  forgive yourself immediately.  fear is useless.  be cautious always.  laugh often.  fear nothing.
