“No one else can make us ‘high’ or ‘low’.
We are our own masters, the creators
or destroyers of our own happiness.
Therefore, let us acquire mastery of ourselves.
Let us acquire mastery of the present moment
to acquire mastery of the future,
for our own good,
and for the good of all other beings. Moment after moment after moment,
life keeps slipping by.
Make use of every moment;
the moment past will never come again.”
