Normally we hope more from persons than they are able to give, this is a great mistake that causes much suffering!

The secret of living always healthy and with an open door to surprises is to hope for nothing from the rest, allow them to be free from our expectations and from the approval of our respect.

In truth, we have a certain pleasure in maintaining people in the prisons that we want them to be. Let us free, therefore, all those and let me to be, think and act as they want.

Still, they are happier and we are more serene!

Ricardo Sá
