Every time, it has always been the great misfortune of wanting to show off which has lessened me in the presence of the truth. We do not need to reveal ourselves to others, but only to those we love. For then we are no longer revealing ourselves in order to seem but in order to give. There is much more strength in a man who reveals himself only when it is necessary.

And, today, there is no greater joy than to live alone and unknown."

You will feel the difference between true change and fake change. True change requires work. That work is worth it."
