Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
God loves to help him who strives to help himself.
To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
It is through suffering that learning comes.
