Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments
Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
A superior man is one who is free from fear and anxieties
The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities.
Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
Things have their roots and branches. Affairs have their beginnings and their ends. To know what is first and what is last will lead one near the Way.
