Cultivate a sweet temper and sweet speech, which  is its natural consequence. Speak without anger or spite, without any artificiality or formality, straight from the heart. Then, you will spread joy and love among all.  If you cannot afford expensive clothes or the various frills of finery that you crave, do not get angry or wild. Be bold enough to resist the temptation of yielding to the pressure of the crowd.  Remember that nourishing the good qualities and character is as important as nourishing the body.
