To fight against one's desires is the greatest of all fights.

Thy lot or portion of life is seeking after thee; therefore be at rest from seeking after it.

The wiser a man is, the less talkative will he be.

Patience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.

Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed.

He who understands humanity seeks solitude

You should desire for others what you desire for yourself, and hate for others what you hate for yourself. Do not oppress, just as you do not like to be oppressed. Do good to others just as you would like good to be done to you. Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others. Accept that treatment from others which you would like others to accept from you. Do not say to others what you do not like to be said to you.
