"Charity begins at home, but should not end there."

We would rather be ruined than changed
We would rather die in dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die

eliminate something superfluous from your life
Break a habit
Do something that makes you feel insecure\
Carry out an action with complete
attention and intensity
as if it were your last.

Sayings are meaningless
until they are embodied as habits.
