Place is the greatest thing, as it contains all things.

Conceal thy domestic ills.

The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.

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.

Who is happy? This is a person, who has a healthy body, is dowered with peace of mind and cultivates his talents.

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

Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity for all must submit to it.
