There are four Powers: memory and intellect, desire and covetousness. The two first are mental and the others sensual. The three senses: sight, hearing and smell cannot well be prevented; touch and taste not at all.

I have wasted my hours.
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.
Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.
