Far be it from me; close be it to me
Far be it from me
Pain without gain
Close be it to me
Beauty in the struggleFar be it from me
Failure without success
Close be it to me
Ability in disabilityFar be it from me
Hope without faith
Close be it to me
The grace to believeFar be it from me
Wealth in ill health
Close be it to me
Health in wealthFar be it from me
Confusion in choice
Close be it to me
Wisdom of discernmentFar be it from me
Laziness in strength
Close be it to me
Strength in weaknessFar be it from me
Fear for the unknown
Close be it to me
Blessing in disguiseFar be it from me
Intimidation in weakness
Close be it to me
Qualities that buttressFar be it from me
Hatred and dislike
Close be it to me
Love and careFar be it from me
Stubbornness and sluggishness
Close be it to me
Gentleness and vibrancyFar be it from me
Looseness with self
Close be it to me
Self discipline and controlFar be it from me
Contemptuous satisfaction
Close be it to me
Taste for greatnessFar be it from me; close be it to me
