"Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil."

Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly. And when I got it, it turned to dust in my hands.
