place where man laughs, sings, picks flowers, chases butterflies and pets birds, makes love with maidens, and plays with children. Here he spontaneously reveals his nature, the base as well as the noble. Here also he buries his sorrows and difficulties and cherishes his ideals and hopes. It is in the garden that men discover themselves. Indeed one discovers not only his real self but also his ideal self?he returns to his youth. Inevitably the garden is made the scene of man's merriment, escapades, romantic abandonment, spiritual awakening or the perfection of his finer self.

I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability.

A happy union with wife and child is like the music of lutes and harps.

When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

The wheel of fortune turns round incessantly, and who can say to himself, I shall today be uppermost.
