The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.
Malice drinketh up the greater part of its own poison.
Pride divides the men, humility joins them.
The perfect human being is all human beings put together, it is a collective, it is all of us together that make perfection.
Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.
