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

The Word is the master key for the whole world, inasmuch as through its potency the doors of the hearts of men, which in reality are the doors of heaven, are unlocked.

Purge thy heart from malice and, innocent of envy, enter the divine court of holiness.

Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously with any one.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.

Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind...

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