Where there is inner peace and meditation, there is neither preoccupation nor dissipation.

Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither covetousness nor avarice.

Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor worry.

Where there is love and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

Where there is mercy and discernment, there is neither excess nor hardness of heart.

Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves.

St. Francis of Assisi , The Sun and Moon Over Assisi by Gerard Thomas Straub
