wealthy and wise.
15. A morning shower is a must.

46. So, if you are a candidate just preparing for the bar examination,
whose chances of passing are quite problematical, just limit your

the great battle of your life.

determined man down.

deep humility, bended knees and tears, He will make all things
beautiful in His time. Victory belongs to the most persevering!
