“If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free.”

Love, you mock us for your sport.

Kindness begets kindness evermore.

Kindness gives birth to kindness.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

Opportunity is the best captain of all endeavor.

Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.

If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.

Time is the only test of honest men, one day is space enough to know a rogue.

In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.

No speech can stain what is noble by nature.

A trifle is often pregnant with high importance; the prudent man neglects no circumstance.

Ugly deeds are taught by ugly deeds.

All concerns of men go wrong when they wish to cure evil with evil.

Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.

Kindness will always attract kindness.

The kind of man who always thinks that he is right, that his opinions, his pronouncements, are the final word, when once exposed shows nothing there. But a wise man has much to learn without a loss of dignity.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Pray, pray be composed, and do not betray what you feel to every body present.

When you have a well developed body and you’re confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

And when you appear all the rivers sound in my body, bells shake the sky, and a hymn fills the world.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos – the trees, the clouds, everything.

If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.
