I used to take on trust a man's deeds after having listened to his words. Now having listened to a man's words I go on to observe his deeds.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

Rotten wood cannot be carved.

I am not an originator but a transmitter.

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.

Happiness does not consist in having what you want, but in wanting what you have

Who heeds not the future will find sorrow at hand
