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.
A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.
Friendship is one soul in two bodies.
It is difficult to walk at one and the same time many paths of life.
Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance.
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
