Avoid compulsion and let early education be a matter of amusement. Young children learn by games; compulsory education cannot remain in the soul.

Let nobody speak mischief of anybody.

The best stomachs are not those which reject all foods.

The passionate are like men standing on their heads, they see all things the wrong way.

Let no one destitute of geometry enter my doors.

He who love touches walks not in darkness.

To be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
