Frederick Lenz
Some tried to kill him there were assassination attempts. Some hated him ... this is par for the course.
Frederick Lenz
It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them, to learn to be perfect in your meditation, and to win in all your endeavors so that one day you will complete again.
