Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you.

Never explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it, and the one dislikes you wouldn't believe it.

He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.

The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget.

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.

Often your utterances and expressions of your face leak out the secrets of your hidden thoughts.

Perfecting one's intellect causes one to speak less, and those words spoken will be adorned with wisdom.
