Knowledge without practice is useless. Practice without knowledge is dangerous.

When you see a good man, try to emulate his example, and when you see a bad man, search yourself for his faults.

Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places? If one remains not annoyed when he is not understood by people around him, isn't he a sage?

A lack of patience in trifling matters might lead to the disruption of great project.

Love thy neighbor as thyself: Do not do to others what thou wouldst not wish be done to thyself: Forgive injuries. Forgive thy enemy, be reconciled to him, give him assistance, invoke God in his behalf.

When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.

The superior man... does not set his mind either for or against anything, he will pursue whatever is right. The superior man thinks of virtue, the common man of comfort.
