We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]

Certain laws have not been written, but they are more fixed than all the written laws.

The rust of the mind is the destruction of genius.

The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.

Unjust rule does not last forever.

The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.

If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
