Author of quotes: Dam

Look to yourself and see. If you do not see the beauty in yourself, act like the sculptor who creates a beautiful statue: he one cuts, the other polishes; one smooths, cleans more - until they get their way. So you take extra! Straighten what is crooked, clearing the dark, make it shining; and not stop to process his statue, till the sunbeams sparkle in front of you God-like shining beauty of virtue, until you shall see the wisdom of sitting in the sacred pure greatness.
