The mirror reflects all objects without being sullied
Not to alter one's faults is to be faulty indeed.
Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
It is better to live in peace than in bitterness and strife
Between friends, frequent reproofs make the friendship distant.
Although your father and mother are dead, if you propose to yourself any good work, only reflect how it will make their names illustrious, and your purpose will be fixed.
