One who is mild rather than forceful has greater capacity for outreach.
No one has ever suffered from his people as I have.
Be like a flower that gives its fragrance even to the hand that crushed it.
Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.
Never make a decision in anger and never make a promise in happiness.
Either you are just or unjust. If you are just, then you will not keep aloof from the people, but will listen to them and meet their requirements. But if you are unjust, the people themselves will keep away from you.
