“Hankering after pleasure is a danger common to all; in balance it gives substance to life. He who is involved in the eddies of drunkenness finds no escape from his realities, nor from his addiction. But wisdom is the handy boat, reflection is the rudder. The slogan of The Way, which is Reason, calls you to overcome the assaults of the common beast that is within us all. Since it is impossible to escape the result of our deeds, let us practice good works. Let us guard our thoughts, that we do no evil, for as we sow so shall we reap.”
