Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others.

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

Not every man with a heart is understanding, nor every man with an ear a listener, and nor every man with eyes able to see.

If you are greeted then return the greetings more warmly. If you are favored, then repay the obligation manifold; but he who takes the initiative will always excel in merit.

The days of life pass away like clouds, so do good while you are alive.

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.

Nothing hurts a good soul and kind heart more than to live amongst people who can't understand it.
