Apathy is grossly undervalued and never there for me when I need it.
Mediobanca is undervalued but less undervalued than other banks.

I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued. We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking — it's a valuable thing my mom created.

Sometimes success breeds apathy. Sometimes when you're doing quite well for yourself you're not as tough as you need to be.
Suffer me never to think that I have knowledge enough to need no teaching, wisdom enough to need no correction, talents enough to need no grace, goodness enough to need no progress, humility enough to need no repentance, devotion enough to need no quickening, strength sufficient without Your spirit; lest, standing still, I fall back for evermore.
