For the good of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world.

The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

The only way to bring peace to the earth is to learn to make our own life peaceful.

Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
