it serves. Or lose our ventures.”

money and other possessions. It is wisdom, for wisdom
can change even the greatest of minds, stop the most
motivated of criminals, and bring enlightenment to all who
seek it.”

planet. Worlds are destroyed and created each day with
death and birth.”
“There is full sun beyond the clouds.”
