Whatever is produced in haste goes hastily to waste.
Inflict not on an enemy every injury in your power, for he may afterwards become your friend.
To pardon the oppressor is to deal harshly with the oppressed.
When you see contention amongst your enemies, go and sit at ease with your friends; but when you see them of one mind, string your bow, and place stones upon the ramparts.
You who feel no pain at the suffering of others It is not fitting for you to be called human.
He who is indifferent to the suffering of others is a traitor to that which is truly human.
