A knife of the keenest steel requires the whetstone, and the wisest man needs advice.

Do not lose joy in life as you grow old in years. Let not your 'joie de vivre be crushed under the weight of years.

All flows out from the Deity, and all must be absorbed in Him again.

Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.

Your good thoughts, good words and good deeds alone will be your intercessors. Nothing more will be wanted. They alone will serve you as a safe pilot to the harbour of Heaven, as a safe guide to the gates of paradise.

Let us be such as help the life of the future.

Do not hold grain waiting for higher prices when people are hungry.
