You should desire for others what you desire for yourself, and hate for others what you hate for yourself. Do not oppress, just as you do not like to be oppressed. Do good to others just as you would like good to be done to you. Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others. Accept that treatment from others which you would like others to accept from you. Do not say to others what you do not like to be said to you.

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

A man's worth depends upon the nobility of his aspirations.

Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.

He who understands humanity seeks solitude

Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything.
