The power of the sky can be made to do men's bidding. There are no limits to its secrets and its might, and it can be made to grant us anything if we but choose to ask. ↗

Our pride keeps us from breaking our pride. Our pride tells us we don't have pride issues. ↗

Do not give way to useless alarm; though it is right to be prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain. ↗
