Memory depends very much on the perspicuity, regularity, and order of our thoughts. Many complain of the want of memory, when the defect is in the judgment; and others, by grasping at all, retain nothing.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants - more than anything else - to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are - and have always been.

Umbarr
To vegetate with weeds,
And like an edifice on your love!
But i am Umbarr in the land of your muse,
And i do have more to say.
Concerned,
Surprised,
Facility,
Priority;
But with a defect! !
And like the muse of war;
But heeding to your words has motivated my status.
