He who understands humanity seeks solitude

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

Surely silence can sometimes be the most eloquent reply.

Perfecting one's intellect causes one to speak less, and those words spoken will be adorned with wisdom.

In this world, man is a target of death, an easy prey to calamities, here every morsel and every draught is liable to choke one, here one never receives a favour until he loses another instead, here every additional day in one's life is a day reduced from the total span of his existence, when death is the natural outcome of life, how can we expect immortality.

How strange and foolish is man. He looses his health in gaining wealth. Then to regain health he wastes his wealth. He ruins is present while worrying about his future - but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him - but dies in a way as if he were never born.

Greed is permanent slavery
