The wise man delights in water, the Good man delights in mountains. For the wise move; but the Good stay still. The wise are happy; but the good secure.

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

Love thy neighbor as thyself: Do not do to others what thou wouldst not wish be done to thyself: Forgive injuries. Forgive thy enemy, be reconciled to him, give him assistance, invoke God in his behalf.

A wise man seeks by music to strengthen his soul: the thoughtless one uses it to stifle his fears.

To know that one knows what one knows, and to know that one doesn't know what one doesn't know, there lies true wisdom.

A hammer shatters glass but it also forges steel.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
