One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

Truth is always straightforward.

Gratitude to gratitude always gives birth.

A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.

Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death--what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless whois cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.

A mind at peace does not engender wars.

Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
