Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.

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 dog will never forget the crumb thou gavest him, though thou mayst afterwards throw a hundred stones at his head.

Be not in the desire of thine own ease.

If a piece of worthless stone can bruise a cup of gold, its worth is not increased, nor that of the gold diminished.

Use a sweet tongue, courtesy, and gentleness, and thou mayest manage to guide an elephant by a hair.

It's no virtue to gain the whole world. Just gain the heart of one person.
