Is there any one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one's whole life? Surely the maxim of loving kindness is such: Do not unto others what you would not they should do unto you.

Don't be concerned about others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.

Excess weakens the spirits.

He who wished to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.

roads were made for journeys not destinations

Sincerity is the way of heaven.
