Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.
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.
Number is the within of all things.
Declining from the public ways, walk in unfrequented paths.
Let a man use great reverence and manners to himself.
Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.
