It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all.
To speak but little becomes a woman; and she is best adorned who is in plain attire.
Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.
Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Fortune provides a man's table with luxuries, virtue with only a frugal meal.
We think there is color, we think there is sweet, we think there is bitter, but in reality there are atoms and a void.
