Ask yourself constantly, "What is the right thing to do?" Behave toward everyone as if receiving a great guest.

Those who are firm, enduring, simple and unpretentious are the nearest to virtue.

Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

If one learns from others, but does not think, one will be bewildered. If, on the other hand, one thinks but does not learn from others, one will be in peril.

The perfecting of one's self is the fundamental base of all progress and all moral development.
