I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies.
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm

It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him
