Every man whose character traits all lie in the mean is called a wise man.

Contrast the experience with something worse and you cannot help feeling happy and grateful because... The change from trouble to comfort gives us more pleasure than uninterrupted comfort does.

A wise man is a greater asset to a nation than a king.

The soul is subject to health and disease, just as is the body. The health and disease of both . . . undoubtedly depend upon beliefs and customs, which are peculiar to mankind.

For every force charged by God, may He be exalted, with some business is an angel put in charge.

All forces that reside in the body are angels.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
