The hand of liberality is stronger than the arm of power.
It is better to break off a thousand friendships, than to endure the sight of a single enemy.
Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.
Wherever the tree of beneficence takes root, it sends forth branches beyond the sky!
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.
Be not so severe as to cause shyness, nor so clement as to encourage boldness.
