True success is not born merely of vision nor by the laying forth of principles alone.

For it is by the way of discipline, and through the tempering of will, that one may rise above the snares of fleeting desire.

He who would seek lasting glory must forsake the shallow pleasures of the moment, fixing his heart and mind upon that which endures.

Let focus be his shield and sacrifice his mantle, for in these shall he find strength. As the day turns to night and night again to day, it is the steadfast who shall reap the bounty of time’s blessings.
