A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear grapes again in season.

Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.

Do not be ashamed of help.

If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. It is in your power to erase this judgment about it. If anything in your own nature gives you pain, you are who hinders you from correcting your opinion.

Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.

A spider is proud when it has caught a fly; one man when he has caught a poor hare, and another when he has taken a little fish in a net, and another when he has taken wild boars, and another when he has taken bears, and another when he has taken Sarmatians. Are not these robbers, if you examine their opinions?

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.
