Although Spiritism has certainly not yet succeeded in convincing the world of the phenomena it documents and explains with a remarkable wealth of detail, the fact that it has presented the world with some of the most virtuous personalities that have set foot on this earth in the last two centuries is a guarantee that it will endure. If not for the originality of the doctrine, if not for the curious exposition of the extraordinary, it is by example that it has already earned its place among the most solid and interesting religions on the planet.
Daily Work, Motivated and Disciplined…
Daily work, motivated and disciplined, really is a holy remedy, as many spirits have said for centuries. In addition to the therapeutic effect, the directing of attention towards a just goal dissipates all kinds of distractions and counterproductive thoughts. The result, although sometimes rewarding, when unsatisfactory is innocuous to the motivation that has already been rewarded in dedicating with sincerity and strengthening in dedication. Abstaining from work, therefore, is not only harmful to health, but also unwise from the point of view of pure and true satisfaction.
The Phonic and Syntactic Richness of Portuguese
The phonic and syntactic richness of Portuguese, more than the nature of its people or the flair of its authors, places its poetry among the most remarkable in world literature.

All Real Modern Problems…
All real modern problems, if not identical replicas of age-old problems, consist only of new nuances to problems whose debate has long been recorded in philosophy and whose consequences have been duly demonstrated by endless examples in history. Having both at disposal and rejecting them; wanting to come up with stupid solutions whose results have already been illustrated theoretically and practically, has to be classified, quite rightly, as an act of bad faith.
