Were the diver to think on the jaws of the shark, he would never lay hands on the precious pearl.
To him who is stinted of food a boiled turnip will relish like a roast fowl.
The rich man is everywhere expected and at home.
He who is indifferent to the suffering of others is a traitor to that which is truly human.
You who feel no pain at the suffering of others It is not fitting for you to be called human.
The rose and thorn, the treasure and dragon, joy and sorrow, all mingle into one.
