Patience is not a colorful stained glass window for you to enjoy in leisure hours. It is added help when facing obstacles.
Serenity is not a garden to be cultivated only for your cheerful days. It is a provision of peace for the deception along your pathway.
Calmness is not merely harmonious violin to accompany your pleasant conversations. It is a substantial asset against misunderstandings.
Tolerance is not a delicious wine to be enjoyed in your moments of fellowship. It is a valuable door through which you may demonstrate good-will toward less advanced companions.
Real co-operation is not just the easy process of receiving assistance from others. It is a means of helping a friend in need.
Confidence is not a nectar to sweeten your moonlit nights. It is a secure refuge for the tempestuous hours.
Optimism does not constitute ease for your twilight hours. It is a source of power for difficult days.
Fortitude is not a rhetorical ornament. It is a reinforcement to faith.
Hope is not the act of kneeling for simple contemplation. It is energy for the lofty realisations that belong to your Spirit.
Virtue is not a decorative flower. Itis the blessed fruit of your own effort which you should use and glorify at the appropriate moment.
