Your feelings are your god.
Generosity, pleasing address, courage and propriety of conduct are not acquired, but are inbred qualities.
Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore one should learn contentment.
Task performed by an unintelligent person should not be rated high.
Till the enemy's weakness is known , he should be kept on friendly terms.
Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.
