The best sort of revenue is not to be like him who did the injury.

A person's life is what their thoughts make it.

Your time has a limit set to it. Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment; or it will be gone, and never in your power again.

Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.

Anything that is beautiful is beautiful just as it is. Praise forms no part of its beauty, since praise makes things neither better nor worse. This applies even more to what it commonly called beautiful: natural objects, for example, or works of art. True beauty has no need of anything beyond itself.

Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.

Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.
