Be contented with what you possess in life; be thankful for what does not belong to you, for it is so much less care; but try to obtain what you need, and make the best of every moment of your life.

The wise man should keep the balance between love and power; he should keep the love in his nature ever increasing and expanding, and at the same time strengthen the will so that the heart may not easily be broken.

There should be balance in all our actions; to be either extreme or lukewarm is equally bad.

The voice is not only indicative of man's character, but it is the expression of his spirit. Other sounds can be louder than the voice, but no sound can be more living.

Death is the tax the soul has to pay for having a name and a form.

I have seen all souls as my soul, and realized my soul as the soul of all.
