He who possesses the ordsprog

Before complaining that you are a slave to another, be sure that you are not a slave to self. Look within;...You will find there, perchance, slavish thoughts, slavish desires, and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these; cease to be a slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you.

Love, that outreaches to the humblest things;
Work that is glad, in what it does and brings;

Supreme their conquest, over Time and Fate.
Love, Work, and Faith -- these three alone are great.
