self-respect and self-esteem.

upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures

Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
