Whoever prefers the material comforts of life over intellectual wealth is like the owner of a palace who moves into the servants’ quarters and leaves the sumptuous rooms empty.
What delights us in visible beauty is the invisible.
We can be wise from goodness and good from wisdom.
Beware of the virtue which a man boasts is his.
Hatred is a prolific vice; envy, a barren vice.
Not what we experience, but how we perceive what we experience, determines our fate.
