With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bent arm for a pillow - I have still joy in the midst of all these things.
The one who was born a genius can't win against the one who tries, and the one who tries can't win against the one who enjoys.
Good people strengthen themselves ceaselessly
If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.
He who works for his own interests will arouse much animosity
The superior person is calm and composed; the lesser person is continuously worried and distressed.
