Man has received from heaven a nature innately good. By devotion to this divine spirit within himself, he attains an unsullied innocence that leads him to do right with instinctive sureness and without any ulterior thoughts of reward and personal advantage.

The original impulses of the heart are always good, so that we may follow them confidently, assured of good fortune.

We should do every task for its own sake as time and place demand, and not with an eye to the result.

Sometimes undeserved misfortune befalls a man at the hands of another. In all transactions, no matter how innocent, we must accommodate ourselves to the demands of the time, otherwise unexpected misfortune overtakes us.
