He who is able to conquer others is powerful; he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful.

He who knows how to be aggressive, and yet remains patient, becomes a receptacle for all of Nature's lessons.

Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.

By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever.

The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honors.
