Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
What parents inculcate in the child is permanently there because childhood is the most impressionable time of life.
