your mind in and you will have a place to stay in peace. Then when you must wait,
you can wait cheerfully, and when you face difficulties you will able to do it
with coolness and courage. And when random forces come to attack, you will have
the power to resist them with strength and firmness of mind, because you have
fortified your mind in patience.
