As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.

I have nothing to lose, but something to gain.

Once you have rid yourself of the fear of the oppressor and his prisons, his police, his army, there is nothing that they can do. You are liberated.

The eye sees all, but the mind shows us what we want to see.

Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.

All things are ready, if our mind be so.
