Men exist for the sake of one another.
If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.
Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.
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.
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for.
