All the darkness in the world can't put out the light of one candle.

Love of goodness without love of learning degenerates into simple-mindedness. Love of knowledge without love of learning degenerates into utter lack of principle. Love of faithfulness without love of learning degenerates into injurious disregard of consequences. Love of uprightness without love of learning degenerates into harshness. Love of courage without love of learning degenerates into insubordination. Love of strong character without love of learning degenerates into mere recklessness.

Love makes a spot beautiful: who chooses not to dwell in love, has he got wisdom?

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.

Without Goodness one cannot enjoy enduring happiness

Do not worry if others do not understand you. Instead worry if you do not understand others.

Heaven begat Virtue in me; what can man do unto me?
