If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?
A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.
As solid rock remains unmoved by the wind, so the wise remain unmoved by blame and praise.
When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.
Be lamps unto yourselves; be your own confidence. Hold truth within yourselves.
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
