Being able to make friends and keep them, welcoming others and sharing with them, a guide, philosopher and friend. One like this will be praised.

As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.

It is better to do nothing Than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

Be lamps unto yourselves; be your own confidence. Hold truth within yourselves.

Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute; do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.

Let a man neither give himself over to pleasures ... nor yet let him give himself over to self-mortification ... To the exclusion of both these extremes, the Truth-Finder has discovered a middle course.

The big belly can accommodate all kinds of things. The benevolence is never let a dust behind.
