Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.

Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.

By your own folly you will be brought as low as your worst enemy wishes.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.

If you let cloudy water settle, it will become clear. If you let your upset mind settle, your course will also become clear.

The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.
