Never curse a fall. The ground is where humility lives.
Manipulation, fueled with good intent, can be a blessing. But when used wickedly, it is the beginning of a magician's karmic calamity.
Yield not to calamity, but face her boldly.
Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared.
Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance.
It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.
He is not valiant that dares die, but he that boldly bears calamity.
