If there be light, then there is darkness; if cold, heat; if height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth; if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death.

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.

Do not even think of doing what ought not to be done.

Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.

Number is the within of all things.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Educate the children and it won't be necessary to punish the men.
