I guess none of us like to look back in our lives to a time when we made poor judgments and foolish mistakes. ↗

I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love. ↗
