but no brains.
Greed has many hands,
but no heart.
Fear has many titles,
but no honor.
Hatred has many forms,
but no soul.

Desire has great strength,
but no brains.
Agony has many hands,
but no heart.
Shame has many titles,
but no honor.
Ego has many forms,
but no soul.

Envy has great strength,
but no brains.
Malice has many hands,
but no heart.
Lust has many titles,
but no honor.
Evil has many forms,
but no soul.”

“The more you read,
the more you learn.
The more you learn,
the more you know.
The more you know,
the more you understand.

The more you understand,
the more you can grow.
The more you grow,
the more you can do.
The more you do,
the more you can achieve.”
