“The study consists of a physical and a psychological aspect. You will have to address the rebellious aspect in order to balance the overall outcome.”

“The disciple is to the teacher what the patient is to the doctor. The method with effective means will be the treatment for complete healing.”

“The quality of study matters more than quantity; regularity more than insistence; reflection more than effort.”
