Anger that has no limit causes terror, and unseasonable kindness does away with respect. Be not so severe as to cause disgust, nor so lenient as to make people presume.
If thou covetest riches, ask not but for contentment, which is an immense treasure.
Keep belly lightly loaded, if mind would wisdom see;For bodies crammed to bursting, make empty souls to be.
Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.
However much you are read in theory, if thou hast no practice thou art ignorant
The stranger has no friend, unless it be a stranger.
