Joy and sorrow, beauty and deformity, equally pass away.
Keep belly lightly loaded, if mind would wisdom see;For bodies crammed to bursting, make empty souls to be.
When thou seest thine enemy in trouble, curl not thy whiskers in contempt; for in every bone there is marrow, and within every jacket there is a man.
A handsome woman is a jewel; a good woman is a treasure.
Independence is of more value than any gifts; and to receive gifts is to lose it.
Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.
