The best way to do good to ourselves is to do it to others; the right way to gather is to scatter.
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Trifling trouble find utterance; deeply felt pangs are silent.
The man who thinks only of his own generation is born for few.
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
