One is never deceived; one deceives oneself.

We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.

Those who make use of devotion as a means and end generally are hypocrites.

Riches amassed in haste will diminish; but those collected by hand and little by little will multiply.

Children, love one another, and if that is not possible-at least try to put up with one another.

In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.

Just begin and the mind grows heated; continue, and the task will be completed!
