Everything is interwoven, and the web is holy.

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.

In reading and writing, you cannot lay down rules until you have learnt to obey them. Much more so in life.

When you are offended at anyone's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. By attending to them, you will forget your anger and learn to live wisely.

In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
