A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.

The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

Wisdom is only found in truth.

If you call a thing bad you do little, if you call a thing good you do much

Just as, out of habit, one consults a run-down clock as though it were still going, so too one may look at the face of a beautiful woman as though he still loved her.

Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
