“Friends share all things.”

If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul: hope and patience.

Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few!

The oldest, shortest words – ‘yes’ and ‘no’ – are those which require the most thought.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Don’t try to cover your mistakes with false words. Rather, correct your mistakes with examination.

Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.

Power is the near neighbour of necessity.

The wise man should be prepared for everything that does not lie within his control.

Souls never die, but always on quitting one abode pass to another. All things change, nothing perishes.

If you’re asked: What is the silence? Respond: It is the first stone of the Wisdom’s temple.

Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance.

A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.

Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit of acting thoughtlessly about anything.

Numbers have a way of taking a man by the hand and leading him down the path of reason.

There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.

Number rules the universe.

Had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends…every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment.

Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent

Part of the reason my friends and I became successful is that we were always helping each other.

Dream big, my friend, and never give up. We all make mistakes, but none of us are mistakes. Take one day at a time. Embrace the positive attitudes, perspectives, principles and truths I share, and you, too, will overcome.

There are three classes of friendship and enmity, since men are so disposed to one another either by preference or by need or by pleasure and pain.

It is a great folly to be willing to violate the friendship of God, rather than the law of human friendship.

Our friends have a way of reminding us of how fabulous we are when the rest of the world has forgotten.

If they are still standing by your side when your armor is off. When your walls are down. When your heart is broken. And your scars are visible. Tuck them into your arms like gold. And do not let them go.
