Friendship is one mind in two bodies. Friends are the siblings, God never gave us.
A great man is he who has not lost the heart of a child.
Kindly words do not enter so deeply into men as a reputation for kindness.
Man differs from the animal only by a little; most men throw that little away.
If you love men and they are unfriendly, look into your love; if you rule men and they are unruly, look into your wisdom; if you are courteous to them and they do not respond, look into your courtesy.
If what you do is vain, always seek within.
The great man does not think beforehand of his words that they may be sincere, nor of his actions that they may be resolute-he simply speaks and does what is right.
Truth uttered before its time is dangerous.
Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.
Every duty is a charge, but the charge of oneself is the root of all others
Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
It is not difficult to govern. All one has to do is not to offend the noble families.
He who attends to his greater self becomes a great man, and he who attends to his smaller self becomes a small man.
Let men decide firmly what they will not do, and they will be free to do vigorously what they ought to do.
There is no greater delight than to be conscious of sincerity on self-examination.
