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

Do not despise anyone: an atom shadowing.

Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good.

Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Before all, be real. Only the truth gives to the word the Orpheus' Lyre power.

It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
