It is better to break off a thousand friendships, than to endure the sight of a single enemy.
A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence.
Wherever the tree of beneficence takes root, it sends forth branches beyond the sky!
I have never seen a man lost who was on a straight path.
