It is ordained that to the ambitious, who derive no satisfaction from the gifts of life and the beauty of the world, life shall be a cause of suffering, and they shall possess neither the profit nor the beauty of the world.
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature for those who live according to its laws.
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.
He who does not oppose evil......commands it to be done.
Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.
If you do not rest on the good foundation of nature, you will labour with little honor and less profit.
