“Patience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.”

Vanity prevents improvement

The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.

There is no rest for the person who has envy, and there is no love for the person who has bad manners.

True friends are a single soul divided between different bodies.

Bear sorrows and calamities patiently, otherwise you will never be happy.

The vision of the eye is limited; the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space.

To fight against one’s desires is the greatest of all fights.

Stubbornness destroys good advice.

Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything.

Never make a decision in anger and never make a promise in happiness.

Nothing hurts a good soul and kind heart more than to live amongst people who can’t understand it.

The best revenge is to improve yourself.

A True friend is one who sees a fault, gives you advice and who defends you in your absence.

Silence is the garden of thought.

Not every man with a heart is understanding, nor every man with an ear a listener, and nor every man with eyes able to see.

Do not hate what you do not know, for the greater part of knowledge consists of what you do not know.
