Philosophy

1. "WHAT IS DONE WITHOUT JOY IS ZERO."

2. "I WORK today because I have today at my disposal."

3. "DESIRE IS EVERYTHING. One can know everything, do everything, go everywhere, but without desire - it is nothing."

4. "I DEMAND nothing of you. You must demand it of yourself."

5. "YOUR MIND does not listen, but your heart will remember."
