Ask not what you cannot give,
Give not, what you do not own,
Fight not, what you do not fear,
Fear not, what you do not value,
Value not, what you cannot control,
Control not, but your own thoughts,
Feel not, but true emotions,
Hear not, but your heart’s desire,
Wish not, if it is not yours already,
Pray not because of conformity,
Plead not, for the lack of ignorance,
Live not, for the sake of another,
Cleave not only virtues,
Practice not but vices,
Love only the three below,
Higher being, yourself, and others.
