Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun.

Take from a man his reputation for probity, and the more shrewd and clever he is, the more hated and mistrusted he becomes.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.

Religion is the pious worship of God.

Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.

It is a common saying that many pecks of salt must be eaten before the duties of friendship can be discharged.
