583. Many things
Many things I have receivedFor the asking.
Many things I have lost
For want of asking.
Many things I have said
Only to feed my ego.
Many things I have not said
Only to hide my ignorance.
Many things I have done
At the request of ignorance.
Many things I have not done
Even at the express request of God Himself.
