“Everyone is critical of the flaws of others, but blind to their own.”

The stingy have large porches and little morality.

Falseness lasts an hour, the truth lasts until the end of time.

Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.

Be in the world, but not of the world.

What is learned in youth is carved in stone.

If you’re unable to reward, then make sure to thank.

If you have an opinion, you better be determined.

A known mistake is better than an unknown truth.

A house divided cannot stand.

Do not buy either the moon or the news, for in the end they will both come out.

The wisest is the one who can forgive.

In haste there is regret, but in patience and care there is peace and safety. This means you shouldn’t rush things, because if you rush something you’ll end up doing a poor job and regretting the results. If you take your time, you’re ensuring a good end result and can feel peace in knowing that.

Avoid things that will require an apology. This means if you want to do something that you know you’ll have to apologize for, you should probably just not do it!

Arrogance diminishes wisdom.

Lack of intelligence is the greatest poverty.

Avoid that which requires an apology.
