Where a man can live, he can also live well.

You exist but as a part inherent in a greater whole. Do not live as though you had a thousand years before you. The common due impends; while you live, and while you may, be good.

Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.

When you have done a good deed that another has had the benefit of, why do you need a third reward-as fools do-praise for having done well or looking for a favor in return.

Truth and ceremony are two things.

Neither in writing nor in reading wilt thou be able to lay down rules for others before thou shalt have first learned to obey rules thyself.

A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
