Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing.

All things are from water and all things are resolved into water.

A multitude of words is no proof of a prudent mind.

Time is the wisest of all things that are; for it brings everything to light.

Many words are not proof of the wise man, because the sage only talk when it's needed, and the words are measured and corresponding with the need.

What is it that is most beautiful? - The Universe; for it is the work of God. What is most powerful? - Necessity; because it triumphs over all things. What is most difficult? - To know one's self. What is most easy? - To give advice. What method must we take to lead a good life? - To do nothing we would condemn in others. What is necessary to happiness? - A sound body and a contented mind.

Take Time by the forelock.
