Two things cause people to be destroyed: fear of poverty and seeking superiority through pride.

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

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

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.

He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.

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

Always consider your intellect to be lacking; otherwise too much faith in it surely leads to error.
