Of all the follies the greatest is to love the world.

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

He who understands humanity seeks solitude

Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.

Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others.

To maintain nice relation with the people is half of intelligence, nice questioning is half of knowledge, and nice domestic arrangements is half of the management of livelihood.

The best revenge is to improve yourself.
