Virtue is more to man than either water or fire. I have seen men die from treading on water and fire, but I have never seen a man die from treading the course of virtue.

Knowing something is not as good as liking it. Liking something is not as good as rejoicing in it.

It is better to play than do nothing.

If you don't know how to serve men, why worry about serving the gods?

They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.

When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.

True goodness springs from a man's own heart. All men are born good.
