I have never seen a man as fond of virtue as of women.

How abundantly do spiritual beings display the powers that belong to them! We look for them, but do not see them; we listen to, but do not hear them; yet they enter into all things, and there is nothing without them.

If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.

Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things that are past, it is needless to blame.

Bird in hand makes it harder to blow nose.

The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.

A man exercising no forethought will soon experience present sorrow.
