Flatteries squirm; actions affirm.
Low acts nix high praise.
Ride your good choices; let your errors float by you.
Love what was; befriend what is; hope for what will be.
Brooding entangles; action unscrambles.
The obsequious servant harms two masters.
Perform honest labor; affirm you neighbor.
Compliment others; use your eyes.
Affirm everyone; mobilize your ears.
To the self-hating compliments are bullets; to the self-loving they are balms.
Brighten your eyes; plug your behaviors into your values.
