Should the fragrance of Thy praise be shed abroad by any of the divers tongues of the world, out of the East or out of the West, it would, verily, be prized and greatly cherished.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.

Religious fanaticism and hatred are a world-devouring fire, whose violence none can quench.

The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds.

A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.

In the garden of thy heart, plant naught but the rose of love.

Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds.
