Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.

One great difference between a wise man and a fool is, the former only wishes for what he may possibly obtain; the latter desires impossibilities.

If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.

If you would know contentment, let your deeds be few.

Virtue isn't not wronging others but not wishing to wrong others.

Men should strive to think much and know little.
