Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
Be not careless in deeds, nor confused in words, nor rambling in thought.
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
What is not good for the swarm is not good for the bee.
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.
Just as the sand-dunes, heaped one upon another, hide each the first, so in life the former deeds are quickly hidden by those that follow after.
A wrong-doer is often a man that has left something undone, not always he that has done something.
