What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift， kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful， and if you do， it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon, Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, Lighting a little hour or two—is gone.
