If you are greeted then return the greetings more warmly. If you are favored, then repay the obligation manifold; but he who takes the initiative will always excel in merit.

The highest person is he who is of most use to humankind.

Do not take someone's silence as his pride, perhaps he is busy fighting with his self.

Don't engage your heart in grief over the past or you wont be ready for what is coming.

Do not use the sharpness of your speech on your mother who taught you how to speak.

Stubbornness destroys good advice.

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.
