“Not to feel exasperated, or defeated, or despondent because your days aren’t packed with wise and moral actions. But to get back up when you fail, to celebrate behaving like a human- however imperfectly- and fully embrace the pursuit that you’ve embarked on.”
“Pride and outward show is an arch-seducer of reason, when you think you’re occupied in the weightiest business that’s when it has you in its spell.”
