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

It is required to find the infinitely big inside what's infinitely small to feel the presence of God.

We come from God. As the tree from the root and the stream from the spring; that's why we should always be in contact with Him, as the trunk from the root. Because the stream dries up when it is separated from the spring and the tree dies when is uprooted.

When the wise man opens his mouth, the beauties of his soul present themselves to the view, like the statues in a temple.

Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.

We ought so to behave to one another as to avoid making enemies of our friends, and at the same time to make friends of our enemies.

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