Friendship is one soul in two bodies.

Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance.

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

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Thou shalt likewise know that according to Law, the nature of this universe is in all things a like.

The earth affords a lavish supply of richess of innocent foods, and offers you banquets that involve no bloodshed or slaughter; only beasts satisfy their hunger with flesh, and not even all of those, because horses, cattle, and sheep live on grass.

Oh, my fellow men, do not defile your bodies with sinful foods. We have corn, we have apples bending down the branches with their weight, and grapes swelling on the vines. There are sweet-flavored herbs, and vegetables which can be cooked and softened over the fire, nor are you denied milk or thyme-scented honey. The earth affords a lavish supply of riches, of innocent foods, and offers you banquets that involve no bloodshed or slaughter; only beasts satisfy their hunger with flesh, and not even all of those, because horses, cattle, and sheep live on grass.
