Many a spoken word is more piercing than an attack.

The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.

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.

Vanity prevents improvement

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.

One who rushes madly after inordinate desire, runs the risk of encountering destruction and death.

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