Stars shine even for those who refuse to look up.

Be noble like the sun; let even those who resent you for shinning benefit from your warmth.

Virtue is a kinder slave master than vice.

It is better to be hated for your virtues than to be loved for your vices.

A righteous pauper is better than an evil prince.

Pennies from God are better than dollars from the Devil.

Virtue and wisdom are fraternal twins.

It is better to die for your virtues than to live for your vices.

Noble intentions are better than dishonorable acts.
