Better hold the hand for coin, though small, Than lose, for one half a dang, it all.
Be generous, and pleasant-tempered, and forgiving; even as God scatter favors over thee, do thou scatter over the people.
Be not in the desire of thine own ease.
The hand of liberality is stronger than the arm of power.
When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.
You who feel no pain at the suffering of others It is not fitting for you to be called human.
