Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Respect gods before demigods, heroes before men, and first among men your parents; but respect yourself most of all.

Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.

Wealth is a weak anchor, and glory cannot support a man; this is the law of God, that virtue only is firm, and cannot be shaken by a tempest.

Above all have respect for yourself.

Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
