Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

Man is on earth as in an egg.

Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed... Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool; the moist dries, the parched becomes moist... It is in changing that things find repose.

The only thing that is constant is change.

Eyes and ears are poor witnesses to people if they have uncultured souls.

And some men are as ignorant of what they do when awake as they are forgetful of what they do when asleep.

To God all things are beautiful and good and just.
