A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.
When the wise man opens his mouth, the beauties of his soul present themselves to the view, like the statues in a temple.
Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.
The stars in the heavens sing a music, if only we had ears to hear
In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.
Reason is immortal, all else mortal.
